I have got some more tools for my Dremel 4000, so I can move on with porting. (No pics yet).
In the meantime I have installed more lamps, gave the compressor a service, installed the new sand blaster and made the first test with the old black painted cylinder block where I have removed the liners before.
Not perfect and not finished yet, but I am satisfied, doing it the first time.
It is done with the “rough kind of sand” we call Korund (180-250). It took some time, the “gun” with the two tubes attached to it is kind of hard to handle and there is very fine dust escaping from the cabinet into the room air.
There is still the risk of getting sand into the engine !
One pic shows the cam chain tensioner area from the inside. It was not cleaned perfectly prior to sand blasting and you can see a lot of sand settled on the oil residue left inside.
Well, I will not mount it in that condition !
Yesterday Nils and me picked up a used lathe and placed it on the old work bench in the garage. It’s weight is 115 kg and it is hard to handle. My other son helped us to finalise that job.
We have checked and cleaned the lathe a bit and played around. The user manual was included and I have some stuff to read and to understand 😉
Cheers, Michael
