give me those!!!!!

 

NEVER heheheh

 

What did you use to clean them?

 

That is alot of work, I glassbead the irons and housings then you can clean out the coolant passages and the seals on the irons, just takes time to tape off the face and oil passages.

 

i used sos pads and orange cleaner

 

nice what is your plans for the motor i hate cleaning to i just cleaned a carb and intake for my 4 wheeler it is a bitch

 

if you can find a place that does soda blasting, that works well. afterwards, wash them off to get all the soda remains off. may wanna spray em so they don't rust as well.

 

serious 'cant believe its not butter' ad there, fabio

nice housings! wish i had a couple looking like that

 

something i've found to be sweet when cleaning aluminum motor parts with alot of grease and heavy carbon buildup is Purple Power cleaner and warm water with a strong plastic brisled brush. You can make things look like new in a few minuites with the stuff! Also you can use something like mineral sprits on the irons (parts cleaner solvent)

 

ahh beat me too it!

 

can i paint them with normal spray paint or do i need high temp spray paint

 

I cant use SOS soap steel whool pads, they make me gag. The smell is just ******* disgusting... I remember I was cleaning up my TB and ran out of steel whool, so I went out and the only thing that I could find, that was still open, where some sos soap whool pads.. I started scrubbin with no water and the dust/soap smell was just ******* gross! So I went upstairs to try and wash the soap out of the pad, but it wasn't going to well, you could still smell it.

Needless to say, I threw the whole box out, and the next day I got some regular steel whool.

 

ah, well i was using lots of orange cleaner and the sos pads were orange flavor so it really dident bother me

 

Lol they look exactly like mine but mine are just sitting and cleaner and use dupli color engine enamel

Are you going to paint your Rotor housings??? The reason I ask is I have always seen people paint the Irons and leave the alum. I figured this was to dissapate the heat.

I'm nub......set me straight old guys.

 

you can paint all the irons and aluminums, most if they paint the aluminums at all use an aluminum color and be sure to use high temp engine paint.

 

i bought some 1200 degree alum color paint that should hold up rite?

 

anything over 600 degree paint should be fine.

the housings shouldn't get over 220 degrees but paint is always false when they give their durability, i usually double the ratings.
