Hi all,
I'm kind of slowly rebuilding my old G5 and I wanted to get the
engine/tranny/rear drive casings clean before I reassemble it. This is
the first time I've been at all concerned about appearance, but hey,
I'm experimenting. I know it's not a loop, but this list harbors most
of the fanatical mechanics, and is a lot easier to navigate than the
general list. Besides, I can apply the info when and if I rebuild my
Eldo. But considering how long this one is taking...
Anyway, at work we have a new blast cabinet with mild abrasive (I think
walnut husk). Is this an appropriate way to clean the cases? How about
the combustion chamber? And once that's done, do ya'll put any kind of
coating on the (outsides) to keep it from oxidizing?
Thanks,
Jason
