I'm wanting to polish my 250 engine any suggestions on how I should do it?

Wow well what materials will I need?

If you are looking to do a whole motor yourself and have never polished anything yourself have someone do it for you. If you want to do it yourself and learn start with your stator cover strip paint and start polishing and learn as you go.

try this stuff, outside only tho. wear gloves and have a hose and a old stiff paint brush to help remove coating.

remember aluminium is soft, if you have to sand use fine paper, NO WIRE WHEELS

but if you know someone with a 1hp buffer and a 8in wheel it will make it a lot easier, rogue works really well
you can have 100 bucks in materials before you start,

i think you guys are crazy using 200 grit, i wouldnt use less than 500
it just makes for more work, if you have a good buffing wheel you really dont need to sand covers or motor cases.
now the head and cylinder you will. the paint remover takes all that off so you dont need to sand.

I agree with grk once you get the paint off (i use aircraft pain remover) start polishing. I only sand if there is a gouge in the aluminum. aluminum is soft and polishes easy
