Okay, finally picked the engine up from glass blasting. So finally I can get started on the slow boring process of unwrapping duct tape from the casing and cleaning up the horrible mess, I’d rather spend too much time cleaning up the casing than too little - this is where it pays to be patient and do your best, if not the glass/aluminum grit will kill the engine, once started.

Okay, I usually don’t shoot pictuers without flash, but I just couldn’t bring out the details on this picture without it. So bear with me. I have taken the liberty of removing some of the duct tape already, to see wether the gasket surfaces were hurt or not. No problems found yet, so it all looks good.
