Default New Bling polished..Lingenfelter, Water pump, Stat, and Tensioner

Here are a few shots of what can be done with the stock water pump, tensioner, stat. And to top it all off polished up a Lingenfelter intake, that used to be a satin finish, saved me 400.00 vs the polished one.

Going to install all this when I do a cam swap, here real soon.



I think it will tie in nice with the rest of the engine bay goodies, and not be to much.

Well done. Polishing that water pump had to have been a tuff job. I had mine sitting on the work bench for a couple of weeks before I decided to just paint it.

Nice job.

Turned out good. I can't believe your don with it already. It's hard to believe that was a raw aluminum (satin finish) manifold. Good work as always.

Yes the water pump was a bit of a pain, but all in all I am happy with the way it came out. As for the wires have a stock amount except for pass o2s they come from he pcm to the front of the motor along the valve cover and down the back, did this because they ran to close to the headers.

I've got a satin intake I am considering polishing. How long did the intake take you? What steps did you take to get from something that rough to something that smooth?
