Engine rework / Machinist up north
cantarauk:
Thank you all for the suggestions which I have now saved in a contacts list. In the end I have managed to get the parts to SEP do do the machining for me since I have been working on a project close by and have been passing on a weekly basis. Its going to take a while since they are rather busy but I have other things to get on with so no res rush.
What I was going to ask on the back of this post was if anyone has had their engines bead blasted rather than vapour blasted and if so what was the result.

I can second Stevush regarding SEP-they did engine work for me of high quality but took rather a long time!

When I was trying to get to the bottom of my main bearings failing in a CB750 engine that was immaculate inside, the consensus on here was that bead blasting engine parts can lead to unexpected bad things happening - it only takes one bead to get into the tiny oilways in the head that feed your camshaft, for example, and get lodged where you will never find it, to kill your top end.
