August 29 Bead Blasting
Today Curtis and I removed the cone from the engine as well as the kicker plate from the transmission. Surprise....the engine has an Andrews cam and the innards of both the engine and the transmission look great. Somebody spent some good coin on the engine at some point in the past. Off we went to the Bead Blasting shop with the cone, kicker plate, rocker boxes and some other pieces. Curt operated the blaster (he knew what he was doing) while I assumed the role of trusty gofer. The pieces came out beautifully. Beading is the only way to go! Also brought some more bike pieces home for clean up. Good thing I have some Gunk left.

Wish I had a trusty gofer to help out when I have problems with my car and moped! I have to pay over the odds for body shop repairs and mechanics whenever I need jobs doing. I need to spend the winter 2015 filling holes in the Rover car, takes me back to my teens and first Mini ownership!
