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 )

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.
