Oh......
In which case the discussion on temperature effects is even more ridiculous.

The original fitment was a "Paxolin" or "Bakerlite" gasket which went between carb and manifold...So the manifold was still allowed to get hot with no ill effect...And was frequently polished.

I would say that the Ducati set up with large rubber adapters to mount the carb to the tubes would provide ample heat insulation..........Polish away..

Common sense tells me to agree with Mr. G. (again!)

Key statements here seem to be

"So the manifold was still allowed to get hot with no ill effect...And was frequently polished"

and

"I would say that the Ducati set up with large rubber adapters to mount the carb to the tubes would provide ample heat insulation..........Polish away"

Insulate the tracts from the carbs at the head and it would be much better, my goldie runs loads better now I have the heat transfer issue sorted at the inlet tract to head interface.

beautiful work on that engine! (and the rest mind!)

will be hoping to get the girlfriends monster in bits for a similar clean up come winter... how did you find best to go about cleaning inbetween the cooling fins on the heads? im guessing a flat wire brush drill attachment of some sort? or if theres any trade secrets you could let me in on i'd be all ears

No trade secrets, just sixteen hours of scraping , rubbing with emery, blowing , washing with thinners and generally going at it, once you start there is no going back, unless you are going to strip the engine there is no easy way to prep it for repainting.
PS. if you find an easier way, get back to me .

The powder coating on that frame looks like it must be about 5mm thick.

That whole job is just superb!!!

You got the slots in your screws a little off-centre.

Seriously though, nice work...
