While I got everything apart I want to go ahead and make everything look brand new. Starting with the engine. Does anyone know how to restore the clutch cover? Mine looks all worn and faded like this one below. Is there any way to fix it?

I'm taking the head off the bike now. This is my first time so I'm wondering is it normal for radiator fluid to come out when you do? Also is there anything I have to replace since I took it off?

yep lol, you are as green as the coolant. piston is junk and should be off the rod this minute. crank looks like it is on it's last legs.

drained or not, you usually get at least some residual coolant when you pull them down. you did drain it first though, right?

It looks like it is in the photos but when I rubbed my finger on it, it was smooth and I didn't feel any scratches. Those marks on it just came right off when I moved my finger on it. Should I still replace it? And no I didn't drain it...
