Trev Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 It comes in handy having access to a full machine shop. If I pull my finger out then the engine will be done by the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I was toying around with the idea of having the blower setup polished but it will be too much maintenance so I wanna paint it in the aluminium that I did my old T50, I thought I found the paint but it is too dull: (Polished the lettering but not happy with the paint) What I want it to look like: I think it is blower tear apart time tomorrow :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 What have I done? I am going into work tomorrow to do a few things to it all and I will do a 2nd cut on the valves as I am going 2 angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Did the second cut on my valves today as I will be running 2 angle. Pic shows difference of 1 and 2 cut on the intake side, other pic is exhaust. Edited July 27, 2013 by Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEI069 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Check out aqua blasting, it's not a polished, but it gives a bright finish on aluminium and seals the surface so it's easy to look after and keep clean. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Cheers for the info but it is aqua blasted. We have an air over wet bead blaster but the item still has to be coated or it will be pourous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I forgot to get a final pic of the intake 2nd cut so I remembered today. Also got onto the alternator and blower brackets. Before blasting and painting: Alternator bracket idler had some wear in it: So I put it in the lathe: And machined it down: And the finished result: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
