Engine Rebuild Underway

[Bridgland]

So I have taken the plunge to get the engine pulled apart and going to get the engine recoated with Cerakote. Pete at Pro Twins has been starting the strip down on the engine and all looking good apart from the clutch push rod that had a rather impressive roller bearing failure, that hadn't been diagnosed.

Going to keep adding to my site http://www.ducati888.co.uk if you are interested following my slow and steady progress.

Quick update. Wesley at Hi-Spec Coatings spent ages getting the parts masked, blasted, masked and recoated, but the results are really very good. The silver is a little brighter, but I think is makes the parts pop, plus I also did the heads in silver, instead of the clear lacquer, as it helped give a nice uniform finish.

Cerakote is described as very hard wearing and also extremely resistant to chemicals, so hope to have a coating that will stand the test of time.

I am also adding an oil cooler so have the additional valve cover (thanks to Pete at Pro Twins for finding an original) with the lugs.
