The glacial pace of this project continues… I haven’t done too much in the past month for lack of finances, but here’s what little is new since the last time.
Here’s what the exhaust crossover looked like before and after a trip through the blasting cabinet. You figure out which is which…
The exhaust manifolds get the same treatment, both to clean them up and to give some ‘tooth’ and open up the pores for the coating they’ll soon receive. I made sure to mask the machined surfaces of the manifold in order to keep them as flat as possible and hopefully prevent leaks. I still haven’t decided if I’m going to use gaskets or not when I put it all back together, though.
