I've been using some carplan stuff that is mentioned in the Practical Classics write-up, for refinishing a block.
I just wondered on what others have found effective, or indeed have some found that just cleaning and stove-blacking works for blocks? I've been presuming that as parts of the block are less accessible, it might be less effective (despite personally liking the unpainted finish)
I'd also be interested to know if anyone has successfully lacquered the valve chest inner area. Was thinking that it being lighter in there might help for maintenance generally, But no idea in practice if this is a really stupid idea because of oil circulation, or other.
