Great tips. A few things I do that can quicken up the process if you have one - Table Mounted buffer with a ScotchBrite Pad & you can also put the bolt inside of a drill, put polish on your microfiber and press against the bolt/bolt head while you make it go.l buffer
Thats how I clean intake and exhaust valves minus the polish. Just red scotch-brite cupped in my hand. Even though the valves are hardened alloy I wrap a little paper towel around the stem/keeper grooves before sliding into the drill chuck, for piece of mind.
Thank you for the video. Good job, i always did my bolts like you but i was told that they would corrode and rust so i stopped and now i purchase stainless steel bolts. What is your opinion? Have you had them rust in the long run? Thanks again 👍
These are stainless bolts in the video and I mostly do motorcycles that come with stainless. That said, they never returned to their oxidized state. Even after years. I have done regular steel hardware too and never rusted. I believe this polish has a rust inhibitor in it too.
@@NeverRollinStock Ok thanks for responding. I agree with the polish having a rust inhibitor, i use the same. I ask because im restoring a Sportster and after seeing your video i will give them a go, the engine hardware i have stainless bolts.
You should grab a piece of scrap steel and drill and tap a line of holes. You can make multiple pieces for different size/thread pitch. Then you can screw in a bunch of bolts and throw that in a vice. I always just keep the metal lubricated with water whether it’s with wet/dry sandpaper or scuff pads then douse with water every little while to keep contaminants off. Never thought of using degreasers to clean before starting. I’ve used purple power, la’s totally awesome, dmx and usually get a white film. Simple green was the only product that didn’t but I stopped using it because fear mongers talking about its reaction with aluminum. Even the military stopped using it. I’ve found myself buying more distilled white vinegar to use as a cleaning agent. From restoring the white on my chuck t’s to leather interiors and metals.
