Good call, that is indeed vapor blasting.  He teases us with it every so often.   :-D

it pales in comparison.....  :cry:

Tuck, your just down the road a bit.
The next engine build you do, knock the seals and bearings out of it, get rid of the gasket material, de-grease it, and ship it to me.
I will send it back looking better then new..
Or, if your going through town, swing in with your engine cases and do it yourself..

I don't remember what the total was on the parts because he bought several on eBay and elsewhere to save every penny he could.
The labor to disassemble, clean, inspect, vapor blast, and rebuild was 350.00.
And no, I couldn't give two hoots where the parts come from as long as our recommended parts list is filled  :-D

How do you remove the bearings you can get behind to knock out?
