yeah i have the atc head i tried both soda and glass bead, soda did nice work on clean material to put a dull factory sort of finish, the glass put a shine to it. neither went too well cleaning this motor, I've had to wash then use a wet soft brass brush on low speed on the dremel. then after...
love the mods and work you've done on the trailer mate, have to say it awesome to see some of the tooling and skills you guys have in this forum. Great to see.
Now to clean this little sucker up and check it over, Wife was not pleased when i went to put it in the dishwasher so am de-greasing, pressure washing and soda blasting for now about 2 hours of cleaning and tried a bit of soda blasting, soda wasn't as successful as i had hoped. will try putting...

Yeah I did have to ask him if he’s sure and the answer was yep buy them. People are paying pretty high prices for these tires especially if they hold air. I’ve seen people buy dry rotted ones for a couple hundred each.

And the frame has some paint, the rest will have paint this week as well and decals on and cleared over. decals for this model were an issue, i could only find one person selling what is advertised as exact match waited three weeks to get them to find the font is different and the size is wrong...
Sat the motor together to make sure nothing else was needed, wasnt going to be a simple one. bottom end definitely needs shimming a lot of lateral movement
cleaned the cases and started polishing, having trouble getting the finish i want on them am thinking of trying soda on them then a polish, the intake came up pretty good, now the head, Im going to need to bead blast it to get the old scratch marks out im thinking
oooo look i found some 40 year old tires in good condition, well all bar one had a small rip in a seam. only $1000 a tyre what a bargain
oh and the exhaust was shot on the original so happened to find a near untouched one as well.
Oh, that case i spent hours polishing..... i didnt have and couldnt get the correct font for the engine numbers to be stamped on, so send the old one to dear old dad to weld up for me. then clean the old case. at least i got cleaning practice i suppose
its like Christmas, a new bottom end (nothing wrong with old one but owner wanted full new rebuild)
Note the case in the background, is a new left side case i purchased and was cleaning to replace the cracked one.
