Prepping my engine cases for build.
« on: May 27, 2024, 05:08:49 PM »
I'm getting ready to build my motor. I have a good set of inner cases all ready for the build. I ordered a full bearing and seal kit and have an OEM set of Honda gaskets. Question I have is does anyone have a layout of the bearings or a picture of which bearing go where. I'm pretty positive I have the correct ones for each half but want to be sure. I purchased a bearing and seal kit. Bearings are all SKF and OEM. There are alot of bearings in the kit so I just don't want to put any in the wrong place. Thanks

@bonedoc Did you CERACOAT your cases ? If so what was the process ? Bead blast or Vapour blast first ? :D

Yes, Had them Cerakoted in black. My buddy does that and powdercoating at his machine shop. He blasts everything then bakes them to burn off any oils. Then does the cerakote.

What temperature does he bake the cases at to burn off residual oil & what temp to cure the cerakote?

I've done a little cerakoting. You don't "burn off" the oils. The purpuse of heating the material prior to coating is "draw out" any oil to visually see if any is still residing in the material. If so, you start the process over at the clearning stage until no more oil can be detected in the target material.
