Got the other side cover done, I won't fit this or the clutch till the engine's in the frame & I've bled the oil pump/system....

Both barrel and head have been vapour blasted, never tried it before.... I'm very pleased with the results...

Does vapor blasting affect them cam journals Geoff? does it rough them up or keep them machine smooth still?

Doesn't affect them at all Mez, unlike sand blasting all bearing & gasket surfaces are like new
