Actually it is powdercoating and looks real sweet. Also the customer has done EVERY part in the engine bay.
Just a FYI.

Dang nice motor. Her Rikki I have called a few times at PFS and caught you one time with someone else on the phone. I have left messages with my # in it but no call. Are you able to help out with the PFS PMS still? thanks.

Powdercoating can't withstand the heat of the engine block! Are you sure it isn't something else? otherwhys it would start flaking off the block...

I'm pretty sure jsut the bell housing and front cover are AL, so those are the only things that can be polished

Yes I can help but we have been swamped with IS300 turbo kits so phone work is real heavy at times. Please call early as you can. I get in at 9:00 so call me a few after that.


IT IS POWDER COATING NOT PAINT OR POLISHING........

ummmm........ I'm fairly sure powdercoating will take all the heat that engine can throw at it and then some. It is some pretty tough stuff.
