cleaning the case halves.
Rebuilding an old 1990 evo.
Mechanicals are one thing but the aluminum parts and cases look terrible.
Anyone out there know the " best " way to refurbish a really nastie looking old thumper with rebuilt internals .?
Shes gonna haul fine but she sure is ugly.

Find a machinist in your town who vapor blasts parts,remove all studs first or coating on studs will be removed and they will rust.

the steel studs can stay - but all bolt holes need a junk bolt in all the threads // as media will clog the threads and add hours to the cleaning, and the risk of braking off a tap in one of the threads, getting a broken sezed bolt out is one thing getting a tap out is another
hope that helps -- jz
