    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Cylinder Head Stripping Suggestions

sharpy;1426707 Maybe i worded this wrong or you read it wrong... Same company said:
and heating in the oven for a hr at 150f at least[/B]. And dont paint cold metal it goes spotty, paint warmer metal is always best. WARM metal will leave you a rough finish as the paint dries to fast. No a expert but works for me. Have fun.

That comment was for baking the paint after you painted. Opps
The cold metal statement was for not having it too cold when painting as the paint goes funny. Looks like everything turned out ok.

Not a problem, I waited till all those parts were warm to the touch and started painted at that point. Worked well because it actually flashed off some heavier spray applications. Looks new

Dam hope it looks new. LOL Lot of work but doing it right the first time is only way to go. You putting a cooler on it or leaving the standard look? Will look great when all done. When i get a job mine is getting a overall. Frame is getting a tad tatty.

Nice looking work going on. So whats the aim by using VHT? Concourse restorations or just getting it good for the road?

I've a solution that is used for cleaning aluminium wheels. Takes just about every thing off including the paint but will leave white marks once its dries.

Thanks for the complement but mine is no concourse restoration, look at Nessism's or Nvr2old GS1000S's for that eye candy. I like all the tasteful period performance mods so those folks would not like my GS1000. Since I have a new 1100G head, 1100 cylinders & valve cover it deserves a coat of VHT Universal Aluminum just to make everything look factory fresh again. Only used a little over one can of VHT ;)
