Cleaning up a Cox Silver Bee? with a W

Cleaning up a Cox Silver Bee? with a W
Found it lurking in my display case so why not join the clean-up crowd.
Not too nasty, but with a surprise.
Cleaned up well with just a slight buffing.
Dannels/Sitter says it's a 350-6 Silver Bee product engine used in the Spitfire and discontinued in 1968.
First one I have found with a "W" element glow plug. Looks like a PO also added a gasket.

Wow, what a great clean up. How did you get the backplate to that “ looks like new” finish?

Looks great, i used to use a red sharpie on aluminum heads, sprayed with clear to repair/redo anodized aluminum.

Dang, that looks too good. Yup, a fuel proof topcoat will be required if you are gonna run it. Otherwise, put in in the display case under bright lights and admire the shine!
Note to self: local craft store has sale on paint spray cans at $1 each.
Go to store.
Ps: I spent $20 at your Chinese ebay web site, thought I’d stock up before they put tariffs on all that good stuff. I bought the mesh pencil holder plus a bunch of 1 or $2 items. The most expensive item was this:

Good looking Silver Bee restoration, Kim. My 1965 Christmas present, a Cox Spitfire RTF had one of those engines. Had the donor engine for a long time, then got lost in a move.

Another great job well done! Thanks for sharing with us, as well as the tips of painting the backplate.
