ha, that level of organization would be an improvement to the plastic bin i've haphazardly tossed everything i've removed at. I think ill remember where it all goes. if not, and it still runs, bonus weight loss achieved.
 
Minor minor update here: I started painting the motor red, but decided red was stupid for now. So I stripped it back off the couple covers I had finished, and took the rest over to Charlotte to a shady guy I met on the internet's house to use his sandblaster big enough to hold a body. Which gives me an idea for a new wave of personal hygiene...

Anyways, Her'es my handy valve shim removal tool, and a couple blasted covers. I'll show the color I decided on when I post it. No, it's not black, no, it is not pink either.

Lucky you didn't end up in his crawlspace.
 
You can ensure they're baked all they way through, by sticking a toothpick in and it pulls out clean.

Why? Afraid your trashcan parts will crack and fall off while you wait on the red, white, and blue perfection?

BIG NEWS!!!!

I actually made progress. After being stoopid and tricking myself into thinking if I spent the same amount of time masking the bottom end as it would take to just disassemble all the little gears and bearings, I could save a marginal amount of time not reassembling it all and risking getting stuff together wrong. That theory worked great until the masking didn't live thru sand blasting. I knew better. I could sand blast a large ball bearing, saw it open, and find sand inside. That's just how that works. So 2 billion hours of cleaning/replacing and 3 assemblies later, and I'm back to this.
