Clean

Post by Callahan »

Well water blasting does a ripper job on 40 year old engine components! I can't take credit for this one though.

Looks very clean - bet if you use it, it won't stay that way!

What about all the internals? Were they cleaned at the same time or are the new?

The motor was completely disassembled and water blasted inside and out. it has new bearings, new cam, conrods resized and balanced, one was 7 grams heavier than the other, new valves, bored out and specially made high compression pistons (10:1) fitted. it should run very well.

What process is that? It looks beautiful. Is it water with beads, or vapour blasting?

I would love to know and I wish my engine looked like that.

It is water with glass beads. They call it wet blasting and also vapour blasting and hydro blasting. I would like to get a water blasting cabinet for myself and also to do some outside work for other people wanting things cleaned up. I have never seen anything else that has done such a good job
