As promised, here's an album of shots from the resto. I haven't figured out how to get the comments to show, but maybe the pictures speak best for themselves. Click on the slideshow button.

Wow.......great job.....how did you get the engine so clean??
-
Some of the engine bits lent themselves to grit blasting. I have access to a cabinet at work, and I actually blasted one of the jugs after sealing the bore and passages very carefully with duct tape. But I was paranoid about getting all the grit out, so I did most of the rest with wire brush, steel wool, various scrapers, and oven cleaner. I had a Vermont winter to do the job, so it was more a case of dumb persistence rather than any magic technique.
