Today I did one of those little jobs that I’ve been wanting to do ever since I rebuilt the motor in 2019. I applied cast iron stove polish on my exhaust manifold. I didn’t find out about this stuff before I got my engine reinstalled, so I wasn’t able to reach every area. I applied the polish with a flux brush. I applied it to every part you can see and allot of what you can’t. The finish should even out when I heat up the engine and burn off the wax leaving a graphite finish.

I’m happy with the results!
