Send me yours and I'll take good care of you.
Bead Blasting by the job.
I'll give you a price before I start after I have your pieces in my hands.
Customer responsible for shipping and insurance both ways.
Customer responsible for making sure all pieces are free of glass beads before assembly

This service includes cleaning off all old gasket material if required and chasing all threads.
Pricing is $40 an hour for cleaning parts and bead blasting ,carb cleaner is $4 a can .
I'll do your whole motor, excluding exterior covers for $250 + shipping both ways, if I don't have to clean the parts prior to bead blasting .

Exterior covers are $100 more just for Bead Blasting, which will leave a satin finish, not smooth, suitable for sanding and polishing. Removing gasket material for Exterior Covers is priced at the standard parts cleaning labor rate of $40 an hour.

( I hate cleaning parts .... :D :D :D )

Contact and shipping information:
1) Direct post or PM on the board
2) 850-419-4521, leave a voice-mail message if you don't get me.
3) Shipping address:

Tim Steele
404 Stokes Airport Road
Front Royal, VA 22630

I prefer Pay Pal, money in my account before I ship, before, during, and after pics on request.
Please specify if you don't want me to use pics of your stuff on the Board for advertising. Thanks!!!

I divided my time yesterday between bead blasting, working on #1 son's car , repairing one of Jerry's grenade or deto damaged heads, working on the feed truck, and more bead blasting and prep for blasting;
Jerry's center cylinder head. I was afraid he'd have hot spots:
Image
After a bit of persuasion , it is a lot better . I was careful not to take much material off or change the shape:
Image
Here's the cylinders getting a bath. I'll work on them some more this afternnon. The morning is pretty well filled up today with grocery shopping for #1 sons graduation shindig set to take place in the pasture tomorrow.

I'll run them all through the blaster again at 40 PSI to knock a little of the shine back and make it more of a satin finish, looks like a model car now.
