Paint it or Powder coat the valve cover. Polish is a lot of maintenance, especially on the likes of a turbo car. Hell, if it must be polished, then at least put a layer of chromium on top to have it withstand the engine bay "elements" a bit better.
Besides, you have much more on your plate right now.

I wondered where you went lol... and good luck stripping the bay, Honda's primer is indestructable .... I have 5 different wire wheels between ,y drill and angle grinder, 2 paint stripping wheels, 2 different aircraft strippers and a bunch of hand pads... it's taking forever lol
Oh and pm me where you got the amphenol connector, I'm looking for one ,maybe.

Wow, I thought it was HOT all year round where you're from haha.
My car is dragging along lol. I'm going to take it down to London after the New year to get tuned properly. I'm running around on a street tune at the moment and it seems to be running really well ( there's a good few thousand miles on the engine now). I've got her running at 1bar at the moment and it feels pretty fast.
I keep meaning to get some vids up but the right moment never pops up. I will eventually (I keep saying...).
P.s.
I hope Santa brought you plenty of cool parts...

Nah in San Diego it's in the 60s during the day this time of year
Its been cold as **** in Georgia, its 28 at night here and some days next week it's only going to be in the low 30s during the day.... but we never get snow and if we do it's only enough trouble make a footprint
but people still panic and empty out grocery stores lol

Yeah they do. The bread rack at wall mart is cleaned out as of yesterday. People act like we are gonna be snowed in for days. It is hilarious.
