Water pump halves bolted back together with new gasket and freshly plated bolts.
Cleaned distributor with Ali-Clean then a light spray of Diamond Clear. Then put back together with the newly plated parts.
Looks brand new!

I wish I spent more time detailing when I done mine…I ended up rebuilding pistons and everything so bypassed the detailing mostly :roll: . This looks cracking!!! When I done mine I struggled to take the flywheel off as it kept turning… I done the same as you with the pressure plate though which made it easy….. how did you remove the flywheel, any tips?

Stripped sump down to bare metal then Degreasing, Metal Ready, Etch Primer and top coated in Under Hood Black spray
Sump bolts and a few other bits being Zinc Plated in tank
Bolts out of tank
Now this is the clever part, the freshly zinc plated bolts are immersed into a zinc blackener solution until uniformly black
The newly blackened parts are sealed with WD40 then refitted
More plated stuff!
Wiper mechanism components stripped. Frame and motor painted with Eastwood Clear Zinc spray and other parts yellow zinc plated ready to be rebuilt
Rebuilt
Bonnet lock stripped, cleaned and yellow zinc plated
Refitting

and in the middle of the same process
So far happy with the results of the yellow zinc, but with the black, i was told this was only OK for internal parts.
Is this why you are using WD40?
I started to go down the silver, or stainless, route for bolts, but would prefer to have a good solution for black.
Keep the updates coming 8)
