soda blasting engine internals - pics
So, two compressors are in place, and plumbed. They just go into a V and into the main feed to the retractable air-lines. I need to produce a bypass
so the air doesn’t go over the oiler. The oiler is nearly empty at the moment so I didn’t worry. However, when it comes to refilling it, then I will
need to bypass else I’ll be oiling my soda.
Now, to the pictures. This is the inside of the rocker cover, half cleaned to show the brown lacquer. This has already been through the parts washer
to try and get most of the crud off.
Below is the crank cradle – it looks factory fresh but was as skanky as the inside of the rocker cover. Needless to say the entire engine is going to
get this treatment inside and out.

Eerr have you blasted your main bearings?
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

I don't think the main shells are in - no doubt he'll be fitting new ones anyway.

Dear Both
Whilst soda-blasting isn't meant to harm the metal surface, yes - I have a new set to go in. Supplied by SBD because the mains can be a weak
point at higher HP.
It's amazingly satisfying to blast this stuff.

Thanks Nick. With the uprated internals I'm putting in, it would be mad not to totally clean it first.
