New heart for the old girl

Hi Allan
What sort of money did this cost?
allankelly1:
The company has quoted 90 -110 plus vat
Think it’s worth it as cases are then spotlessly clean ready for rebuilding as cases were also painted black and originally looked like this

4 cylinder crankcases are usually £80 a pair if the customer has degreased them, plus these were black so seems a fair price. It looks like they haven’t gone down to the finest grade glass bead and polished them which is a good thing as the paint will stick better
allankelly1:
No these cases were first chemically dipped and then vapour blasted and process does not removes original material from the cases
Had the same done on my rd project and my sons yam MotorX engine
It’s not the same as a grit blasting process
Best wishes Al

They certainly look like brand new - I've never had vapour blasting done.
I used paint stripper on the outside & mainly petrol on the inside surfaces as I found this removed pretty much everything but it is tedious and messy work - the end product on the inside surfaces isn't as clean as your vapour blasting.
Nice looking job when you look at the before & after pics.
