Looks really good!

The vapor blasting/honing you accomplished makes this rear cylinder shine better than PC or paint

Thanks guys, will hopefully get the time to proceed with the other parts soon

DME · « **Reply #103 on:** February 18, 2024, 11:36:16 PM »

Cases, rear cylinder and rear head are done

grcamna2 · « **Reply #104 on:** February 18, 2024, 11:45:23 PM »

Yes they ARE

Do you own the vapor 'Polishing' machine to do this fine work ? !

DME · « **Reply #105 on:** February 19, 2024, 02:54:07 AM »

Yes, I built my own setup a couple of years ago.
I believe there is a thread about the build here somewhere...

Always impressive what vapor honing produces, looks great.

Front head done:

DME · « **Reply #113 on:** March 26, 2024, 03:17:40 AM »

Every single steel fastener (except front and rear axles) for the complete engine and chassis has now been cleaned up and is ready to be sent out for zincplating

grcamna2 · « **Reply #114 on:** March 26, 2024, 11:47:45 AM »

They will look good

DME · « **Reply #115 on:** April 08, 2024, 11:27:07 PM »

Reassembly has begun and the frozen crank and its bearing slipped into the heated block just by the help of gravity with a nice click.
Now waiting for the replated bolts and steel parts to arrive.

The crankshaft looks Cold !

DME · « **Reply #117 on:** April 09, 2024, 12:45:59 AM »

-19°C to be exact

BenelliSEI · « **Reply #118 on:** April 09, 2024, 06:23:20 AM »

Following. Very cool project!

Couldn´t just sit around waiting for the replated steel parts to arrive so I decided to give the alternator cover some needed attention this past weekend.
Got rid of some protrusions that wasn´t needed anymore in the mill, and gave the cover a workover in the cabinet.
The replated parts are destined to arrive tomorrow, but we´ll see...

grcamna2 · « **Reply #120 on:** April 29, 2024, 09:49:57 AM »

Your work on the machines has given the cast surface a much smoother finish;I hope the cover will also be smooth where it tightens down on it.

DME · « **Reply #121 on:** May 01, 2024, 02:25:14 AM »

The replated stuff arrived yesterday as planned, turned out well

Before and after:

MauiK3 · « **Reply #122 on:** May 01, 2024, 07:56:32 AM »

Nice stuff!

grcamna2 · « **Reply #123 on:** May 01, 2024, 08:32:25 AM »

I like those plated small parts;much better than NOS.

RAFster122s · « **Reply #124 on:** May 01, 2024, 11:02:00 PM »

Curious,they charge you by the pound or item,looks like they did a great job platimg that stuff. Is it getting really expensive to do like every thing else these days? How much did the rocker shafts grow by plating?
