I beleive around 3500 PSI.. The spray pattern and 'Mist' is also very important.. Will you be pop testing? or able to see it get done?

you have me curious TJC... I just see cast iron.. I guess I dont see a negative for blasting the inside and wiping it clean then baking them... Thank you for chiming in...

pots will be dry Paul,, For Sure.. here they are.. One is supposed to be really Old.. if I have time this weekend I will do 1 or 2 of the modern ones... I think it will be fine..

I like the way you think, LTK....

No, I know what hes saying.. Its just that my cabinet is large and the sand hopper is as well. I would have to flush out the cabinet and replace the media, then do it again when Its time to do my typical work.. Its all good,, yes the sand will leave some residue.. my thought was to blast them, wipe them out will corn oil then bake them on the grill for an hour, then re-season them.. Just having a little fun here.. jojo

and scrub them by hand??? TJC.. they are really rusty,,

O.D.,,, I have a few OLD cast iron pots that are rusty.. I was thinking about using my blasting cabinet to clean them, then start over and season them... What are your thoughts on using the blasting cabinet... I was thinking about doing one of my Chinese pans first, as a tester..

D.C.W.,,, as far as I know, without calling Raleigh and telling on myself,,,,, I am allowed to drive trucks as long as I'm not hauling freight.. When I had my truck repair business, I was able to test drive the trucks... When I got my job for the city, they did not ask me to renew my Phys. Card...

I have to give my local O'Reilly's ''Parts Professional'' a lesson and show him how to find it on the computer, each time I buy it.. just sayin'.... Jojo

If your Cleaning up your yard with a forklift because the tree cutters need room to cut down a tree,,,,,,,,, Youuuu Might be,,,, me.. got a tree co. coming Thursday morning.. I will be on my fork lift moving logs... I need some cookin wood, 1 is a Red maple, and the other is a Pecan.. I will have cookin' wood for a couple years if it doesnt rot first.. yeee Hawww!

exactly !! Brocky..

Here in N.C. you get a letter thats lets you know that your D.O.T. phys. is due.. then after it expires, you have 90 day's to get it done before they pull your C.D.L.... Because I don't drive for a living anymore, I was able to sign a doctors note/form/ whatever it is,,, and still have my Class 'A', without a D.O.T. card in my wallet.. Of course if I get back in the Saddle, I will have to get my D.O.T. card.. Jojo

Sorry,, I dont know either..

I check my journals too, I use plastigauge and calipers as needed..

Yep. Hopefully the crank is stamped with, Std. Or the cut size.. I have seen cranks with different sizes journals on one crank..

I used to buy stuff from them, but the last time I went there, the emblems were all the Volvo style bull dogs.. so I stopped buying there.. I have about 12 hats, some coffee cups, 8 trucks, and a bunch of small trinkets..

JoeH, I have been keeping a list for decades... It work's,!!! I get stuff done, and transfer the incomplete to-dos to the next days list.. My wife gives me crap about it, but I get more done than she realizes, or even cares about.. .. I'm a list guy.... Jojo

they will have robots to do the work,, wonder if robots can wipe butt's too ?? it's coming, stick around Mech, to see the sh!tshow... Jojo

just make sure you get any and all of your old parts back.. You may need them later when you find a shop that CAN fix it.. I have a turbo shop an hour away. He is from Germany and some how can re-build older turbos and he even had a turbo for a 22 year old Isuzu Diesel I rebuilt, on his shelf..

Can you go in the EECU and check the smart fan setting and engine brake on/off setting?

was the E.E.C.U. replaced/flashed right before this happened?

I'm Glad that you found some Humor in that mess.. I hope you are not hurt.. Good Luck Bud.. Jojo

I have 2 sets of these, bought them over 20 years ago from 'Wal-Mart' of all places.. I still use them and I have heated and bent some of them for B.S. jobs like the one in front of you.. Good Luck, Jojo

You may want to start your own thread on this topic.. You can copy and paste your posting, I will paste mine too. I bet you get more replies... Jojo

If you believe they have moved,,,, Replace them !! there are 2 essential tools for this job.. the long black one is a depth gauge and alingment checker.. It is used from the bottom with the pan down.. the silver tool can also be used to check them when the heads are off.. It is the tool you need.. it is also the installer.. there are 3 types of H-rings available, std. and 2 that are oversized.. I think one is .002'' and the other is .005''.. they are for bores that had H-Rings move.. the 3rd thing you will need is the sleeve retainer fluid.. ''Winging this repair will cost you a cam shaft and all the labor to pull the heads and do it right.. It only takes 1 miss-aligned H-ring... Jojo
