That's really nice. I wish I had skills and all the tools back when I was 17...

Ok now I'm still waiting for my crankcases to be sandblasted
Why do they need to be sand blasted?
I would be careful blasting too aggressively, as the bearing mounting and sealing surfaces can be damaged.
It takes someone that is familiar with blasting aluminum engines parts to know where to blast - and where not to blast.

I asked them to only sandblast the outside of the engine because the painting is falling apart , but they're not touching the inside because the painting is good.
I told them to be carefull, so they will use micro sandblasting
