CB 550 Engine Vapour blasted

Picked up my engine head, barrels and crankcase halves up from AJ's Vapour Blasting in Hull. They have done an excellent job on them

Looking good Bill. You make sure there is no media left anywhere, especially in the oilways. Get those oil bungs out and clean those passages like your life depends on it.

Ken, I think you will find that roughness in the casting is where the corrosion has been removed by the cleaning process. We have some that look like pumice stone after Trig has done his stuff to remove the oxidation.
