It's been some time (well nearly 2 years) since I last posted for this build. Several other bike projects came along ( have you ever heard that before) and distracted me.
I was in debate as to whether to strip the engine or to try and clean it up as a lump. It was very corroded in parts and I couldn't find a vapour blaster who would take on the job of doing the engine as one lump.
The corrosion is bad:
There was no way this was going to clean up without some form of blasting. So today I decided to start stripping the engine down so it could all be vapour blasted prior to repainting.
So here we go. Cams out first:
The journals are looking good. Well they've only done about 15,000 miles.
And the camshaft lobes are like new.
