Caveat Emptor I suppose. Not having cleaned SUs before I can only go
by my experience with Bing Constant Velocities. I have never been able
to get the metal on the Bings to look any better than the SUs in
Billy's pictures without becoming obssesive compulsive and running the
bodies through a buffing wheel. The vice marks are another story, of
course, but I have no way of knowing if they were there before the
work was done or not. If not, then Billy has a right to be PO'd.
Seems like there is a wide range of experience with this from the
various posts. The ones in the picture are definitely cleaner and
prettier than my HIF44. I can't reach into the engine bay without
smearing some filth on that baby, but it runs like stink so I don't
worry about it being pretty.

P.S. My flight to SNA was booked last month. Will arrive 9:30pm 28th
and leave early on the 31st. Should I bring any tools or other stuff?
