    I have a pair of canadian high compression aluminum heads and was looking for some pics of what they look like polished up on a motor, thanks.

    I had the pair on my '48 clear anodized. This gives the satiny appearance of brand new perfect stockers with a durable surface.

    I have a set of the aftermarket Weiand 8.5:1 heads that look just like the canadian versions. I just got done taking all the paint off and I used fine steel wool and they came out looking like vintage heads. Looks great.

    Never saw polished V8 heads but have seen a few V12 Lincolns polished. They look real good.:) :D
