I had all my tin plus the fan housing sandblasted and powdercoated for $150 at a place off 4thAVE south in Seattle. The only way to go and it lasts!

Took the tin to a place in T town for powdercoating. I get it back next week. got the head back from Jack's Machine shop. It's all patched up good as new. Gerry and I got it back on the engine this afternoon. Kind of a practice run for the real thing when the wife opens up her purse. Just about wearing out my knees begging for the OK from the boss to do the rebuild. I planning but there sure is a lot to consider. At least i'll have a nice looking set of tin for an old oil burner.

Broken Sheet metal screws that hold the tin on. One I tried to get out with an Easy Out(Break). That morphed into drill the ***##0@ sucker out. That was next to the intake but did not involve any of the machined surfaces. So Jack welded drilled and retapped the hole. The other one I didn't mess with so he TIG welded a small bolt to it, used heat and backed it out. Very cool. Anyway it provided Gerry and I a chance to practice with the topend. Dave |
