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.

I've never seen a boring machine before, that's cool as!

[Trev]

Thats a hell of an inlet manifold.

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 :)

[Trev]

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.

[Trev]

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.

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

[Trev]

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.

[Trev]

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:
