- UPDATE: INgrooves and Believe Digital have filed fraudulent strikes against my TH-cam Channel for this video. They do not respond to disputes. If my disputes expire without first being dismissed by these labels, I will never remove this text because others deserve to know about the copyright abuse of the recording industry. Record labels file claims on TH-cam to content they don't own because they want to steal other people's creative property, install their own advertising, and profit from works they had nothing to do with creating whatsoever. It's their new business model. They are doing to the public what they've been accusing the public of for decades.
They and the artists they represent can not legally stake any claim against my audio content as it was created 100% with loops owned and provided ROYALTY-FREE by Apple Computer, Inc. These USAGE RIGHTS come with the PURCHASE of Logic Pro Studio. APPLE INC. RESERVES OWNERSHIP RIGHTS of this royalty-free content used to produce my audio track, not the artists that these entities have fraudulently submitted for waveform scanning to the Content ID system. The license agreement can be found here:
www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/l...
Anyone claiming ownership of any part of this video other than Apple, Inc. is committing fraud. Blocking my monetization is harassment. A DMCA violation would be extortion. I composed and recorded this song. It's my original composition. I own ALL THE RIGHTS to the content in this video, the equipment used to produce it, and possess the receipt, packaging and printed license agreement included with all of the products used in this video's creation.
4 other un-named labels have also filed claims on this one video. 2 were dismissed within hours of submitting the dispute, 2 required more than 2 weeks of digging through public web forums until someone provided me their private email addresses and it still required several emails. The two remaining have completely ignored their responsibility to respond to the dispute process, which takes 30 days to expire. One of them will be immortalized here permanently as of October 10th, 2013.
TH-cam is not taking adequate measures to ensure the record labels own the materials they submit for waveform scanning. TH-cam does not provide contact information to TH-cam partners for any of these entities who file fraudulent content ID claims and then ignore disputes, yet they require content creators to provide their FULL LEGAL NAME. TH-cam does not remove the works submitted by record labels that include public domain, royalty free, fair use or licensed samples. It appears they don't do any screening of the works submitted by the labels. TH-cam needs to fix these issues for the sake of your quality entertainment because uploaders are suffering from the lack of these features, and this kind of e-bullying will stop channels from producing and uploading quality original content for you to watch. Time I spend disputing claims and ownership rights is time I'm not wrenching, filming and editing. The recording industry has devolved into a waste of everyone's time. Their usefulness in modern media distribution has driven them to these desperate measures to remain relevant and profitable. Now they just resort to harassing other self-made artists that they don't represent over content they don't own.

Hey, you know this is just one of those extraneous things I have to do that takes time. This car won trophies for this, and it has a reputation to maintain.
When we're putting this thing back together, there's a certain order I have to do things in. Polishing comes before the final cleaning and parts installation. After that, it never ends.
This is purely cosmetic. I created the soundtrack using Logic Pro. Because I can. It's mine.
YET ANOTHER FALSE COPYRIGHT CLAIM FROM ANOTHER COPYRIGHT TROLL:
Paradise Entertainment Music
On behalf of: Ener-Chi Sounds
also... [Merlin] Symphonic Distribution
SOMEHOW THESE TROLLS STILL HAVE TH-cam ACCOUNTS AFTER FILING FALSE CLAIMS. It says expressly in the Terms Of Service that filing a false claim is grounds for account termination. I'm going to start posting ALL of these in here. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I didn't even think of using ear plugs to prevent things from getting into the holes. Definitely going to use that when I paint my engine. Great video by the way
A clean engine is a happy ending, and adds at last 10/15bhp 👍🏻
I wash my motor and got an extra 35 h.p. from it...
I was always told chrome don't get you home ..
And all show is no go...
But that's looks shinny just like the name plate on my desk..
ear plugs in the small ports..... nice idea
sux about the copy write thing though man.
I agree. totally stealing that idea.
Some are not able or indifferent towards all this. They don’t understand why and mostly don’t care. But when you put forth the extra effort, the one or ones that may care are the ones who will see that your dedication to the details goes beyond the usual. It is people like you who inspire others who may see this as a way to get themselves recognized for the right reason. There is too much mediocrity in this world to allow things that others ignore to not see that you really care not just about what you do, but also how you do what you do! I admire your work because you care more than most and only a chosen few care as much as you! Bravo Jafro!👍🏻😁👏
Thank you Mark. A few people get it, and that's exactly who I do it for. I appreciate the time and attention you've given my content over the past several days. I respect having captured it for this long. Based off what you posted so far, you've got some experience and some great advice. Having you stick around and contributing is both flattering and appreciated. Thank you!
If you had a TV show I'd be glued to that every episode.
I polished my front valve cover. Took me about 40 hours to sand by hand and then polish with compound. Sadly, instead of everyone saying how beautiful looks, they ask why I have not done the Plenum yet?
Anyway, Happy 4th and tell mom we wished her the same. I like moms that buy 1/2" Dewalt Impact Drivers!!!
I see a huge positive in all that polishing not just a nice shiny engine but you will be going so crazy trying to keep it clean that you will be able to spot an oil leak in under a second lol
Great polish job! I follow your channel and am learning quite a bit. About to do this to my motorcycle engine. I great tip for getting all that polish is white flour. Totally takes it all off with little elbow grease.
Man, I have learned so much and applied it to my own builds. You inspire confidence!!!
what 2013 , 5 years later ........................I still think u are the baddest polisher in automotive industry by far ... i wanna do this for my k series
Hey buddy, looking to polish my valve cover and my head, I have everything apart, wondering what wire wheel you used at the first and what else you all use to polish it? thanks for the video, awsome work.
That’s a lot of work buddy good job done a few jobs like this myself it’s not easy
I have a question for you Jafro, I just rebuilt the cyl. head on my geo metro and I painted it chevy orange. Is there a downside to painting the head? I would have much rather just polished it like yours. And one more question, that is just a regular aluminum head correct? Mine would look close to the same as yours if I did the polishing right? Thanks, LOVE the videos keep them coming!
Hey bud what type of wire wheel are you using and I want to thank you for the help you’re giving me I tried not to lap the valves some were pretty pitted I did with the lapping tool and took off minimal. To check them I put a flash light in the ports and didn’t have any light coming threw so I hope that is good enough. I was going to do my mineral spirit cleaning before I start my polishing thank you
Great stuff!!!
What products and tools are you using to polish the aluminum head? I can see it's a wheel of some sort, but I'd appreciate a break down of items as these cylinder heads are a little pricey.
I'm going to do this while I have my cylinder head off my Evo. I haven't seen one done in the Evo community. The Evo's has ridges on it. Is that a cooling function or can those be smoothed out?
Thanks!!!
i polished my cylinder head on my gsx eclipse because of this video
I bet it looks fantastic, took forever, and you're damn proud of your work! ...what about the valve cover and coolant neck, though?
Hi mate. Which tape and cutter are you using to mask cylinder head. What type of buff and polish do you use to polish cylinder head.
Hey I was wondering how much you wet sanded your cylinder head before polishing? Or did you?
Indeed, thxs Jafro! Happy 4th of July to you too! That head came out very purdy, and nice fail towards the end lol
very nice work and nice to see other VA gearheads
This is ridiculously beautiful!
Only things I can say is wow. I'm definitely waiting for your GVR4 related videos but obviously, this was epic. I wonder how long it will take you to get it dirty.
that looks sick. what did you use?
Thats crazy you take the time to do this to the head. Again....Fine work.
What are you using to polish?
Awesome...how much time did you need to do this?
Your work and your videos are pure genius. Great stuff.
come on! dont you know that the texture on an aluminum head is there to help it air cool? :-) just messing with you. you sir are a crazy person. your attention to detail goes way beyond obsessive and i mean that as a huge compliment! thanks for sharing all your invaluable knowledge (for free!) so i can learn a lost art and pass it on to another generation. this goes for all your videos! thanks.
cool! what i like to do on some parts is, sand to about 220 or so and then polish. it gives it a kind of brushed look. sweet vid!
how long did it take? anyways next one is the 200th vid anything special planned??
What are you doing with the valve cover ?
I really enjoyed this. Thank you Jafro!
nice what polish did u use?
What is the bar you use? I plan on doing this to my transmission on my probe!
Jafro, what compound did you use?
awsome man, thanks. I love the look to the polished head and valve cover, Just bought my first 97 talon tsi around 3 months ago, car needs some work but its an awsome learning experience for me. Attempting to rebuild the transmission as we speak, with alot of help from some good people at dsmtuners though.
How goes things jaf? Hope you had a good 4th,old blingy scrubbed
up fairly well :) Your videos just get better and better, your attention to detail is something else, even the masking on the gasket surfaces was flawless! I wish i had your patience!
What tools did you use?
what kind of wheel is that your using
I've got a quick tip for you for when ever you have to mask some thing off.Tape the item up like normal but don't use a knife to trim the tape.Take a "small" ball peen hammer and very lightly tap the tape all along the casting edge.It will cut the tape cleanly and much better then a knife will ever do.It's the best way to tape off parts for painting.Make your own gaskets,glue a chunk of gasket onto the surface and then just tap away all the unneeded material it will even cut out the bolt holes.
At 2:25 that Grinding tool can you give me the link of where you can buy them? And the small one aswell. I want to clean up my V6 which is in a rough shape.
Рабочее место как у меня было в Мариуполе, стол с лева тиски и стул, только климатизация с тыла, и такой ерундой я не занимался, только серьёзный тюнинг, портинг ГБЦ!
beautiful work!
Question you didnt have to sand it down first? Also are you just using aluminum polish?
Hey Jafro, you are an inspiration. I am going to try my hand at that one day. . . one day.
Did one day come and go ???
@@peterrivney552, I haven't tried my hand at metal polishing yet, no.
A helpful thing about the polish is if some of you are like me and couldn't find a block of polish you could also use Mothers - mag & aluminum polish
What did you use to sand the head down to prepare for polish can't find anything small enough to get in the grooves. Sanding rolls just left nasty gouges in my head
I hand-wet-sanded every square cm of this thing from 200 - 1200 grit. I used a cut up piece of an Xterra bumper out of a junkyard to cut jigs to fit the cracks and crevices , wrapping them in sandpaper, and carefully finishing them by hand. I know what you're thinking and yes. But that's what it took to get this finish. Power tools don't cut it for the sanding part.
What's the horsepower increase on a mod like this? ;-) Nice job. Why didn't you do the cam side or below the ports? Are they just not visible?
Just beautiful
Great videos man! I love the attention to detail you have! I really like my stuff to be clean and look nice too. Even if I'm the only one who will see it.
If it wasn't for your videos I wouldn't have been able to build my own 4G63 7-bolt motor. Thanks for all your videos and your amazing work! I wish I could have you next to me as a resource while I build the motor! haha
how long it take to do this all
wow thats purdy. I really like the work!
how long before its back together?
What are the differences between the 6 and the 7 bolt 4G63 head ? And, will the 1.8L piston work in 61 block without any problem/s ? (after I bore the block)... :)
Absolutely fantastic job you have a gift sir and you saved yourself alot money doing it yourself. You did a Great job
You're an inspiration
I went down the OEM look on mine ( old vw with Audi S3 engine and Porsche turbo 350hp). I'm a clean freak ha. Btw great videos mate one of the best channels on you tube
May I copy the part of this video where you were using the wire wheel? Especially the part where the wire wheel blow up? I would like to show that at work as a safety message.
its a cloth buffing wheel
@@davidfarmer He's talking about the steel mesh wheel, not the clothe buffing wheel. Did you watch the video? When he gets up, turns to face camera, and presents all the metal strings stuck to his shirt?
Madness! But in a good way 👍 polishing is addictive
+Jafromobile what sort of wheels and stones did use for polishing the aluminum, and is there any sort of non yellowing coating one could apply afterwards to keep the finish from fading due to aluminum oxidization. Aluminum will start to oxidize (forming the dull grey finish) almost immediately after being exposed to air. I've polished my intake manifold before, just using machine polish and a 3m foam pad on a drill. It looked nice for about 2 weeks, but by the end of a month it was harder to tell it had been done at all.
Yes, there is one product that works and doesn't leave any residue. It's called ShineSeal.
Triple-stitched flannel wheels, black and white rouge, each with a new wheel. I didn't have to sand anything this time, but previously I took this thing from 120 grit to 800 grit by hand, crossing the grain twice on every grit. A few minutes with diamond white rouge and a flannel wheel brings it right back. If you polished the intake with just a foam pad on a drill, shineseal isn't goint to maintain that very well. When you polish aluminum parts it's always best to sand the outside oxide layer off and smooth before beginning your polishing. It will look great for a short while, though.
I have a question, after you finish your polishing up, would you be able to coat the head with clear gloss engine enamel? Wouldn't that stop corrosion on the head and keep it shiny for much longer?
I want to know on this one too....I have a follow up question is that clear gloss engine enamel meant for the outside of an engine? If so, it probably wouldn't take the heat internally.
DE Nichols It is meant for the exterior of the engine
So how long till the GSX hits the road?
Great videos btw :D
Did u sand down the cast lines n surface texture before polishing? I'm going to do the same but I have that surface texture witch probably wont be as shiny unless I sand It down to a smooth finish
Yes. Yes I did. This is a re-polish. The first time took me a month to do both the head and valve cover, and I sanded all the way to 1000 grit prior to polishing. I could have stopped at 600 with the same results. Once you start polishing, black rouge doesn't require that you go any further than 600 grit. 400 really, but the finer you go, the longer lasting and more durable the shine is. Be warned... once you do this, the polishing NEVER STOPS. It requires continuous maintenance.
***** oh ok ku my man! Time to do some sanding.
***** how long do think the shine will last
Looking beautiful. You are too good.
Hi, can you help me? I need to remove rust from inside the cylinder head, deep inside where the water circulate. There's a way to do that? Thanks
Now to put it on without any finger prints :) . Good job, thanks for another cool vid.
Wao time consuming !!! Ready for shows again!!
could you please list all the tools you need to do something like this??? Awesome work by the way :D
Looks cool alright.
How about some education too? What kind of wheels do you prefer, what compounds, etc.
Thanks
hey jafro.. did you use black emery here too? my polishing kit says the white stuff is for aluminum..
They both are. One is for rough cutting (black) and the white is for ultra-bling. You get great results with the black, but because it's a rough cut, there's more surface area to react with air. Go over it with white and it shines brighter & the finish lasts longer.
Jafromobile Gotcha, I just rewatched your intercooler bling video where you explained just that lol thanks
What polishing tool is that and not the die grinder or whatever your using.
so I'm not the only one who rubs his junk when he gets the chance !
now thats a carshow shine!
Jaf you are absolutely amazing!! Keep it up for it inspire me to love my 4g63!!!
So shiny !! good job ;)
blue magic is the bomb. I love that stuff.
I love your videos and the attention to detail, you turned me into a mitsh fan thank you
Sick! Might have to give it a try on my Evo IV head!
did you previously make a video of how to clean off all the dirt and oil before polishing?
Themayseffect Yep! Best method is in the "DIY Parts Washer" video. If you have an air compressor, that method is the fastest and most effective way.
This is ''over the top'' almost!
But I would like to have it and achieve it on every future vehicle that I maintain & to own
Over the top would be if the entire surface of the engine was an OLED display. I think this kind of finish is completely normal.
cool. If my work schedule ever changes I'll start catching up with you at the track again. I think my 3-4 synchro is starting to go though. :-(
America is quite partial to bling on an automobile. I prefer the understated look of sand cast of matte finish.
Is that a crappy HF die grinder? I almost picked one up last weekend and put it back.
I do have one. I don't know which part of the video you're referring to because I also have an electric Milwaukee and a Dremel, but yeah, they're almost always on sale for $12.99.
I do a lot of stuff with Harbor Freight-quality tools just to prove that you can (unless you're trying to build a fire with their magnesium firestarter kit because that thing doesn't work at all). I think if I were to use a Snap-On master set that lots of people watching my videos would find excuses not to even try what I demonstrate because they "don't have the tools". You can indeed get good results with cheap tools, you just may have to replace them occasionally. Where the tool matters, like torque specs or welding equipment, or if it's for the thing that I do for a living, I always use quality.
How long does a polish like this hold up through regular use?
Until it gets wet or dirty. If it doesn't get wet or dirty, once-a-year repolish will keep it looking show-quality bright. The car this was on spent 5 years of its life without getting wet.
So it's not a daily driver only on Saturday night now there are 52 weeks in a year half of them are in the winter if you are in Northern states and Canada so that makes 26 weeks now and figure half of that is rain so you can drive it 13 times in a year...not worth the time...
Nice finished product. Is mine next?
wow like always great videos happy 4th of july jafro thanks for the vid
Sure has been fun combing through your videos since I found your channel! Not really too much into the shiny stuff, but admit it sure does look nice, and I really admire your work ethic! No matter what you're working on, you don't hold back on quality. That's a real pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work!
realvanman1 Thanks man! I can't wait to get back on this project. It's going to be one of the most beautiful engines anyone's ever seen when it's done. The car won show trophies for it before, and I have to up my game a decade later. Thank you and I'll do my best not to disappoint!
***** what car did you have the Motor in, or what car do you plan to put it into next?
jozzerful2 This engine came out of the GSX and is going to go back into it. It's receiving a new shortblock.
No prior sanding required for this one?
That's why the video is titled as a re-polish. All the hard fingerprint-removing work to sand it smooth was done back in 2004. It took me 2.5 weeks wet sanding in the kitchen sink of a house I used to rent to get it from 220 grit to 1000 grit. It took another 2 weeks to finish the valve cover. So no, sanding was not needed this time around. Perhaps my future includes doing this again? If so, I'll include what it took to get into all the nooks and crannies.
just SOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW Bro , good job
A hard teeth brush work well to clean the polishing compound with the polish.
I think it's cool how the sound of the tool kind of goes with the music!
I wonder how much it would cost a shop to do this? Ideas?
Glad to know that i'm not the only one with car OCD.
Amazing job on this, thumbs up.
What is that polishing brush made of?
Chris10B I dunno which part of the video you're referencing, because I used several different tools... but polishing wheels are usually crushed felt or flannel.
This is amazing!!!
bling bling, happy what's left of the fourth!
Do u think this polish would preserve the block (rust-free) longer than a good sand rattle can paint & clear coat? AN IRON BLOCK THO
Nope. It will make it rust faster. Don't waste your time polishing ferrous stuff because it will come back to bite you. Powder coat that stuff.
OMG ! Jafro replied to me ! ur name should b the Mistu Guru . i have a ford, chevy, hyundai & honda guru/god.
What is your view on LS Vtec builds? (Frankenstien motor , B-series Vtec Head on B-Series Non-vtec Block) i'm an inspired Tire Tech with a few prject cars.
Thank you again !
Hey Jafro, I love your channel I watch it on a regular basis, and come back to it anytime I am looking for a quick reference on something. If it wasn't for dsmtuners and this channel I'd still be that guy dreaming instead of doing.
I have a 97 eclipse gs that I am converting to a 4g64 long rod evo 8. I still have a long way to go and much to accomplish but I'm getting there. I want to thank you for being one of the biggest contributors to me being able to accomplish this.
