Ryan that's a domestic negotiation between you and your better half ;D My wife hates the smell of diesel, I was using it as a cutting fluid on the mill over the weekend. It will stink, if you don't have a lid, I would tape a big plastic bag over it.Do I need a lid to close the bucket

The XS heads are very robust, I would be surprised if you needed to do any more than lap the valves in and replace the guide seals.
Yes understand your point. But it does not hurt to set some precedents. My wife and neighbours are not surprised these days as they know to expect anything! Might have something to do with the wind turbine mounted on my shed with a 2m rotor span! I think the biggest surprise for them was when I fired up a Chinese valveless pulse engine that I made after watching youtube. The noise is unbelievable, 120db plus!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPevraef4gI.Don´t forget I´m freshly married...I still have to learn a lot
I would disassemble the whole engine. If you leave it closed, I am a strong believer that sand will get into your engine somehow (even by a small amount), and I don't like having sand in my engine.Ryan Stecken said:So there´s one BIG question: : : :
My aim is to blast the whole engine...
So I would now-->reassemeble the "hollow" engine with no crank and pistons, reseal it
There is a trusty blasting technician in Vienna that does really good work with glass beads, but I don´t think that I can get the engine leak free and I don´t want ANY glass beads going into my engine...
Der Nanno already advised my to remove all the gears and crank parts and then sealing the engine then blasting.
Already thought about soda-blasting the engine or dry ice blasting but as far as I know these methods won´t remove the factory paint from the motor...
How hard is it to remove all the transmission parts from the engine?
I´m afraid that I will never be able to put them back in the right way...
