I’ve used DBC Racing for all of my vapor honing. Blake is meticulous and is always a pleasure to work with. They also do engine rebuild services, and deal in OEM and aftermarket parts too. I feel very fortunate to have DBC Racing local to me in West Michigan.

I’ve met Blake a few times at Silverlake.  Yes I agree he’s very meticulous in all his work.

Here are some photos of what we vapor blasted this week and last.  Keep in mind engines must be 100% disassembled before vapor blasting.  Blasting a complete engine is too risky as media will ALWAYS find its way in!

that was going to be my question.  so all the bearings got to be pulled/replaced?  Has anyone figured out a good way to change out that clutch arm bearing in the left case?

Yes, all bearings must be pulled prior to vapor blasting.  With my blind puller I can get the upper clutch arm bearing out but the lower stays in the cases.  I have a verity of small rubber plugs that I use to block off all of the holes / passages and bearing bore for that specific area of the case.  Works like a charm!
