About 3 hours with an orbital sander, 4 hours with various grades of wet and dry, and a bit of metal polish thrown in at the end to finish it off...

Wouldn't recomend it .... my wrists really hurt now :cry:

Took an afternoon to do :-)

Spraying your engine is easy :P i fancied something a bit different

How on earth did you get an orbital sander to do that ?

Was it one of the black and decker mice types ?

No to engine transplant lined up... thought it may fit as the block is the same... but found out it wouldn't.... therefore I have a manifold spare.

No engine transplant planned at all i'm afraid... my engines got a clean bill of health and i'm not goin to get rid of it till something goes wrong 8-[

As for the polished manifold... its gettin flogged at some point... im plannin on startin up a mini business venture polishing mr2 manifolds :P...
