Crankcase Soda Sandblasting


These are pictures of the bottom crankcase after I used Baking Soda to sandblast with. Its amazing how it does a great job, without leaving any pitting in the allumium casing. Its also very easy to clean off by just using either fuel, or water.


Notice the serial number "22T-100313". This means its a canadian manufactured bike, and was the 313th off the assymbly line in 1983.





This is the upsidedown view of the bottom crankcase. The circle is the OIL FILTER housing, which is in the front of the bike.





This shows where the OIL PAN is mounted.

The next procedure will be to measure the cylinders to see if they are within specs for only a honing, or a boring will be needed from the machine shop.
