WOW! These pictures are great!

Keep us updated with pictures!

Thanks!

P.S. what type of wheels are on the white 512 in the background?

To Kevin,

The 512BBi in the picture is unfortunately not mine. According to Sony Furuya who is a manager of the garage, it seems that that is "WORK"(made in Japan). 18 inch, 2 pieces, 5 holes and the center part has been removed and put other part on it.

There is a proverb in Japan that it is better to make it before thinking this and that. However, in my engine's cosmetic restoration case, I faced the situation many time that it is better to think before starting to work.. I am glad if it is useful.

I have needed to think before starting to work since AC clutch is unresolution type. I mask the part which should not be weared before I start to blast.


After blasted

Request to plate. It is a zinc chromate.


The parts which has been plated mask again.

Blast and detach the part of plate.


Give processing the dyed black to the part which has beed exposured the metal. I used Gun-blue made in U.S.A.

Finished AC clutch. It would be hard to see it after the engine installs in the body.

I devised to grind the sand casting parts of the engine depending on where it is located. I used acrylic board, top of screwdriver or pallet behind the sandpaper depending on the situation.


In case of flat surface, I bonded sandpaper around the thick glass and grinded the goods on it.
