I totally get what you mean. I also have a Dino that is in super original condition and if i would have to rebuild my engine i would not even consider having everything zinc-plated, spray painted and polished up again. Just technically perfect and clean and original that's all.DanHansen wrote: My concerns are now, and this might seems funny? are I i would like a fully bling-bling looking engine in my car, that have all the patina left? of corse I would like the clean look, but not overdressed so it looks like there another engine put back in...
If you start your rebuild with a pile of rust and oxidation it's off course a complete different story.
