Cleaning the Heads II

Ok, so Kody gave me the go ahead that the heads were pretty clean and it was time to bead blast them. So last night I grabbed up some packing tape since it was the only thing on hand to use and covered over the top of the head where the cams go so that I wouldn't get any sand on the bearings. Well, let me tell you, you need more than one layer of tape if you are going to be sand blasting.

I saw a hole start on the tape from accidentally passing the nozzle over it and stoped. There was some sand in there but nothing to get scared over. I took all the tape off, washed it again and this time, I added 3 layers of tape to it so that I wouldn't have to worry so much.


Anyway, the head is nicely cleaned and looks like brand new. Now Kody can lap the valves and re-cut the seats tonight.


Since the heads are so nice and clean now, I think I am going to have to do the same thing to the Cylinders or it won't look quite right.
