Never vapour blast a engine, you will be asking for trouble using vapour as it contains glass bead. I build engines for a living and have found the best way is a acid dip that has chemicals suited to cast alloy
A nice looking project.. do you get over to squires cafe? Plenty of nice old jap bikes to look at on a thursday eve through the summer

I build engines for a living and have found the best way is a acid dip that has chemicals suited to cast alloy Thanks Trig. I read about this and honestly wasn't sure what's best. I've got the origional K1 which came with the bike. So the engine ,(K6) in the frame is being replaced. One of the K1 linings is cracked (not stripped it down yet so don't know what else is wrong). Is it Ok if I pm you at some point in the future as I'll be needing your services etc. Thanks.Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

You will see the differences once you have the engines stripped so, keep all engine parts separate, one on one side of the workshop and the other on the other side
A head skim and those valve seats need a regrind, also check the valve guides . Are you sure it is a K1 head ?

Are you sure it is a K1 head ?It just came with the original engine in bits as the bike has a K6 in it. The bike is a 1971 but not sure tbh. What else will show if it's a K1 or not?Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
