hey guys and gals, I successfully tore down the motor and case. I'm about to start soda blasting it clean. Once done should I reassemble and then paint or paint before reassemble?
I've heard it done both ways. Coupla things to consider:
Painting an assembled engine:
Harder to get into secret nooks and crannies, risk of too much paint in those.
What to do with exposed engine bolts and nuts?
Might be harder to manipulate, to get all around, being much heavier.
If you have to cook the paint, well, ...oof...
Hi 2M, Read the threads and enjoyed your puzzles. Hey, too much time on your hands is a good thing. Can't wait till all is paid off and the house maintenance is done, then I'll have more time to ride. (and think up heat seeking puzzles).
Hope all is well with you.
