My two cents for making your engine look a little better if that's what you want. Take a hint from skyguyz above. Shine some of your low end like his, maybe some fresh bolts. Black in the middle & clean the top a bit. Leave some "patina". Don't try too much. I think it's the contrast between the shiny parts & the semi shiny with black in the middle that I love.

Pink ribbons and some flowers on it ? ? . Tough , is what it needs to look ! , I 'd stick with the silver ( alloy 
Barrels .
Stainless nut set maybe ?? All the bolts need to be kept EVEN , particularly UNDOING , though .

The one rule to the exception , is theres the exeption to each rule .

I had my engine soda blasted:
Of course it was easy because I removed the engine for a restoration.
