Re: My free sand blasting
Just paint the block black. if you cant see an oil leak, there are none. haha.

Re: My free sand blasting
if you sandblasted your block, you better cleant he ---- out of the oil passages GOOD. if you start that motor with abrasive in the oil passages, goodbye bearings.

Re: My free sand blasting
when u spend $$$$$ to build a high boost engine I think it is a little bit better to keep an eye on oil leaks. Thats the diff between a nice engine and a POS engine
|
Re: My free sand blasting
nice. let me know when you get it all together and in the car Ze. this time take some vids and send them to me.

Re: My free sand blasting
powerwashed it like 6 times and and brake cleand it like 3 times and air blasted it for 5 min the first time. I spent a lot of time cleaning this bitch.

Re: My free sand blasting
ya I will, but for the first time in my driving life im taking my time, my car wont be done till the spring and then its going to jk motersports for a week to be tuned, I figure I will just leave the car with him and get josh to tune me like a black man at a clann meeting.

Re: My free sand blasting
im sure you did but you need to concentrate specifically on the oil passages. if there is any oil residue in them, which your not cleaning out with justa powerwasher then the sand will embed in it. take a couple cans of brake clean and an air hose and go to town on all the little holes/passages. trust me on this ive done alots of sandblasting/powdercoating and that ---- hides even when you think its clean enough its not.

|
Re: My free sand blasting
Im a mechanic in a shop, I used up about 7cans of not my brake cleaner on it. The day I got it back at work I spend the whole day blowing it off then hitting it with the brake cleaner

Re: My free sand blasting
I will take pics tommoroe when Im up at my car, its sand blasted and filled, It looks great
|
Re: My free sand blasting
You going to clear coat it as well or just leave it?
|
Re: My free sand blasting
I think Im just going to leave it, it has a lot more shine in real life.
plus I never seen any high heat clear coat |
Re: My free sand blasting
Filled? by this do you mean u used the devacon block filler?
|
Re: My free sand blasting
lock-tite industrial use only liquid alluminum
|
Re: My free sand blasting
I have high temp clear coat it is made by VHT I believe. |
Re: My free sand blasting
where did u buy it?
|
Re: My free sand blasting
I think at Cajun Tire but most automotive places should have it.Should help it from getting stained etc.There is a couple other high temp paints that come in clear as well.When i media blasted my intake manifold i clear coated it after.

Re: My free sand blasting
I just got back from my car and I took the pic but my digi died, have to wait till next week.
