Re: cleaning aluminum intakes
A buddy and I restored an original set of 69 Z covers just last Sunday and here is what we did to them. A light media blast with some real fine glass (worn out), then cut them with Triple 0 Steel Wool under the wash brush in a Varsol Bin. They were then washed down with Brake Clean and here is the end result. They look pretty darn close the factory finish if you ask me?

Re: cleaning aluminum intakes
Look good but I think to aluminum looking. I have an original non-dripper set on my car and they do still look original. I don't remember aluminum valve covers having a real uniform lookin sheen as the NOS ones do today. Intakes and valve covers are not supposed to look like they were touched. JMO. Old saying is.... whatever blows your dress up! Sam
