What's the best way to clean off old, flaking paint and stuff from a 16v alloy cam cover? And then, what paint to use to refurbish it?
Last post
You can rub it back with almost anything you like really, wire wool, nitromers, wet and dry, hedgehog, makes little difference.

The torque of the BX 16 valve is the same as the TD. The 1.9TD would be a bit greater. (1.7 TD & 16 valve 133/134 lb ft - 1.9TD 142?)
