Stripping clear coat from engine

Been wanting to make the clear coated aluminum parts on the engine look a little shinier. They are all yellowed and peeling on both my 750 and 900, like most old Yamahas. The black isn't bad though, so I'd like to just redo the clear coat areas and leave the black.

Years ago, I used some Bix Stripper on my old Virago, and it did a fantastic job. The cases looked like new without even polishing. At least I think that's what I used. I found a can on the shelf, and I assume it was the leftovers. It long since dried up though, and it appears it is discontinued, so I need a modern replacement.

Saw a couple posts here saying they used Kleen Strip or a citrus stripper on tanks and fenders with reasonable results. Do those do the trick on engine cases? Seems like the engine paint is tougher. I am hoping I can tape off the areas with the black and leave them intact.

Assuming I get the old clear coat off, any recommendations for new clear coat? I assume it needs to be a high temp variety.

 

To remove the clearcoat on my cam covers, I used spray-on gasket remover with excellent results. Not it's intended use, but it worked well.
The original Yamaha engine paint (either the black or the silver) is pretty tough, but can be removed.
If you do happen to remove any of the black, I recently used the Duplicolor "engine paint with ceramic" with good results. (For me it was aluminum color DE1615, but I'm sure their gloss black would work as well.)
I top-coated with Duplicolor engine gloss clearcoat with ceramic. It turned out very nice... but I have yet to run the engine and see how well is stands up to heat/fuel/oil/etc. A buddy of mine (an incredible restorer of Hondas) swears by the stuff, so it must work well.

 

Thanks. I'll take a look at those.
