    Very nice, can you tell me more about bead blasting?

    As above cam cover and box look awesome.

    What paint did you use on the engine also?

    It's shot blasted with glass bead and not crushed glass like most
    The glass bead is so fine its about as smooth as flour if not more its like dust
    but it doesn't eat the aluminium away like other abrasives just cleans it realy well

    And engine paint was some I got off eBay

    Do you do all the machining yourself or did you send it off?
