1963-1964 (Late) CA-78 Engine Restoration1963-1964 (Late) CA-78 Engine RestorationStill gathering info for the resto. Concerns is the correct way to restore the engine appearance. My plans are to disassemble the motor check it out and repair what is required. During the process I plan to glass bead the motor hardware, cases and covers due to the motor sitting outside for who knows how long and needing to be refreshed. Should I leave the head and cylinder bare and let them age while repainting the cases and covers the correct Honda silver while polishing the inspection covers? Or paint the head and cylinder? Or is there a more detail correct way of restoring the exterior of the motor and inner chain guard? And does anyone have a paint code plus manufacturer name for the correct Honda silver for 1963-1964 model CA-78. PPG is preferred for my supplier. Thank you.
