Minnesh's one?
I don't know. Mine is exactly the same but just dirty and is definately aluminium.If he painted his then I would say .
Thanks boof. Will look into it.

get some good quality mag wheel cleaner and a scrubbing brush and a bit of elbow grease

edit : is that aluminium or just a coat of silver paint ??

Here is the link to Minnesh's engine bay with the tappet cover on it.

Minnesh's engine bay with aluminium tappet cover

Hi all

I got hold of a 1400 Datsun Pulsar aluminium tappet cover.
I will take some pics this weekend after I have fitted it.(Looks the same as the one Minnesh has on his engine)
Well, anyway, the thing is a little dirty and I want to clean it nice before fitting.
How can I clean aluminium and bring it up to a shine without damaging it?
I am planning on using engine cleaner on it first and then using a 100kpa preasure machine (as we call it here in South Africa a WAP) to hose it off. Will this thing not maybe damage the aluminium?
Can I use something like a brass cleaner to polish it up?
I heard that aluminium must "breath" and I am just afraid that it will seal the outside and not be able to "breath" properly.
Many thanks.
