We recently bought a 1982 gs850l. The clear coat on the motor is bad. I need to remove it and polish the engine. Any tips.

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The clear coat on the stator and clutch covers (also front forks) can be removed with paint stripper and then sand the covers with wet-and-dry paper starting with about 200 grit and going finer and finer. Polish with buffing wheels and rouge to obtain the degree of shine you want. The cylinder block just has silver paint, which should be prepared by degreasing and scrubbing very well to remove all oil. Respray with high-temperature silver paint.
If you use the word "polishing" in the Search box, you will get many posts on this subject and many photos showing just what can be done.
Put up some "before" and "after" photos of your progress!
