Do Tell?
I've heard of the walnut shell blasting thing-a-ma-jig but I've never seen it done. What kind of machine are they using? I have excess to a bead-blaster but I can't see using that on a case. The beach crude left is murder to clean. What about having the cases hot tanked? What kind of chemicals do th...

Kay
Before I read your post I had already taken it in. The guy did a great job. Smoothed and blended it. Next question. What is it with Yamaha crank cases? Everyone I've looked at that has some age on it looks like crap! The metal looks like it's laid in the worst crude in the world. Even after cleaning...

New dumb question
There is a section on one of my cases that needs repair. It's right at a spot that utilizes a bolt to hold a cover on. The covered area is not exposed to oil. The screw in section has been broken in half and a piece of the caes cracked off. I wanted to braze on a piece of aluminum and shape it to th...

Easy!
If you want to remove anodizing find yourself a plastic tub large enough to fit the swingarm in. Then go to the hardware store and find a bottle of "Red Devil Lye". Fill the tub with COLD! water (DO NOT USE HOT WATER!!!!!!). I don't know the ratio of lye to water that you will need, but after my use...

Busting raindrops
Hey I'm in the south not of the south. There is a difference (born in the land of fruits and nuts :cool ). The speed bump idea was to break up the fuel droplets not improve flow, or am I chasing the same monkey :?: . I am under the impression that smaller fuel droplets improves combustion because yo...

Grooves
I'm not saying the grooves work I just listen and try to take the most logical (in my mind anyway) step. I was working at a site were they where in the process of building a large concrete canal. At over-passes and feeder intersections the engineers were placing what looked like speedbumps at the bo...

Crude
I was thinking along the lines of a polished exhaust port. I have been told and read that a mirror finnish port on the exhaust is what you want to decrease deposit build-up. It's harder for carbon to cling to a very smooth surface. Would it be better to have fewer deposit's junking up your charge (w...

I love this website!
The light just went off! I think I'll leave the rods alone and move to something else. I have enough rods that I'm weighing them and finding four (4) rods that arae close to the same wieht and yes I have a very very good electronic scale. My next tech question is this. The pistons on the FZR 600 loo...

Got it
The depth of the shot-peening is probably not deep enough for the flap wheel. I've taken a rod that was burnt and practiced on it. Even a light hand produces dramatic results when you are trying to remove manufacturing imperfections. I have also looked into sites which cater to 4-stroke outboards an...

Ok Dragracer1951 I give!!!!
Drag I just visited your website and I must say I am impressed! :oops: I have zapped a email to the website I have been using to gather my microscopic knowledge and asked about any other processes that may need to be done. I am a social engineer not a mechanical one so I conceed(?) the field of hono...

I believe
But can you give a more detailed explaination? I understand what you are saying and why, but there seems to be contradictory info (see www.sa-motorsports.com/blockdiy/blkdiy.shtm). In this article it explains deburring and lightening the I-beam and the small end of the rod but it says nothing about ...

Serious Tech!!
I'm on the inside of my FZR 600 engine and I have just completed port matching and polishing the head (If you want to do it yourself go www.samotorsports.com/diyports.shtm). Now I want to gather information on lightening and balancing connecting rods. I don't really want to lighten them but I want t...
