Looks amazing. Im running a 170-375 glass mesh from potters and cant come close to that sheen. Id love to know the process on how to clean engine parts prior to assembly. Thank you .
Hi Steve I was very impressed with the results and would be interested to see the complete engine from the kawasaki results is there a video available??
Two questions even after thoroughly cleaning you hear horror story's of media found inside engines. I had vapour blasting on bare hubs and a few other small parts 220 pound! !
Hi I’m thinking of setting up my own business locally doing this as a part time job. I’m looking at a silent 40cfm compressor which makes barely any noise. How much noise does the actual machine/pump make please
@@kentvapourblasting2374 Oh interesting, so it’s water & abrasive. How does it leave such a smooth somewhat glossy finish. Over your normal sandblasted matte finish. My guess would be a finer abrasive?
I was told by an individual that paint can be removed and that I should try using vapor blasting instead of using an aircraft paint remover on an aluminum motorcycle frame that is being prepped for powder coating. I told him that is not what vapor blasting is made for based on researching the process of vapor blasting.
It doesn't damage the surface he says, he removed the aluminium oxide layer which is way harder than the base material, this guy chats garbage. Never ever blast a bearing surface!!
In this video, and in others, you are blasting the machined surfaces. In particular the machined face on the cylinder head. Are you not worried about head gasket leaks after leaving a rough surface?
@@mr.hattapornmueansat2063 h2o + abrasive normally people use on vapor blasting , many material can be use depend on what is your goal , sodium bicarbonate ,wall nutshell , plastic media , glass bead , silica sand , copper slag , emery ,aluminum oxide or Diamond .

Is it safe to not isolate the shock absorber piston rod which is chromed and polished for maximum sealant? Even thought the vapour blasting is very gentle with the surface it stil makes microscopic pores in the material or have I forgotten something?
Thank you for the reply. What is the substance comprised of? We have an application for medical mould tool that require a surface clean with no metal removal. Is this pissible?
lovely work, nice purchase but do you not find that most bikers are tight fisted bastards who wouldnt pay their maker? Fond of ringing up for a price but thats as far as it goes
Lol. It's crazy that people are ask8ng what size glass or sand it's using......it's not a sand blaster. It's called VAPOR BLASTING. It's high pressure water.
Vapour Blasting Car Cylinder head and Motorcycle Shock Absorber
what do you charge to do that cylinder head please?
Clean shiny like this. What number is Glass.blad sand used? I want to know what number do you use?
Is there any risk of hurting gasket side?
Hello, is there any problem with blasting gasket surface ? I mean for the sealing surface?
I've been aware of vapour blasting for many years but never saw it done until now. The end results have always been very impressive.
Vapour blasting has always fascinated me! You can make the most grubby dirty engine part etc and make it look new .
Great video.
This is so satisfying !!!
Wow Amazing Very impressed
I think i would enjoy doing that for a living ☺
I do exactly that and it's addictive
Very impressive, what´s the media you use for aluminum engines? I did read about nutshell particles, or/and ceramic microespheres...?
For dimension sensitive parts it's got to be the best option. It's beyond a good result.

Can you please tell me if I want to clean 4 cylinder, cylinder head then how much time will be consume
Hi Steve, how would you insure that all the media is out of the head before re-using it in an engine ?
Can vapor blasting be used only with degreaser and air? I worry about media in small oil holes, threads, etc.
How does it work on heavy rust? Like old brake calipers.

Sir, what cabinet did you use to make this? I'm planning a new project and came across your video. It seems to work very well!
Good
Hello, thank you for video. How much nozzle size,crushed glass fraction size and pressure?
Crikey's mate love your clips, need one for the 31 Packard project, wondering can the cabinets be used for both abrasive and vapour.
Thanks for the comment. No, dry blasting is a different system

Question. Is there ANY chance that this method could damage any of the Gasket Surfaces? Does Vapor Blasting REMOVE any material? Thanks
Hi, no it won’t damage or remove material
Things like engine parts in aluminium as the cylinderhead and what not, do you recommend giving it something for protection after?
Surface is sealed, no more protection required
How is the surface seal, seems like you're just using water?
Aluminum alloy parts recommend some type of corrosion inhibitor...like alodine.

Well you obviously never been to trade show watching one run inside and can’t tell there running

How loud is the machine?
Is that just high pressured water? I’m confused how it makes it so clean without any chemicals.
Hi, It’s a mixture of water and media, mainly glass beads

If you look at Vixen vapour blasting who manufacture the equipment it’s all explained there, I’m only a user not a supplier 😊
Hello, respectable sir, what kind of media do you use and does it correspond to aluminum, please help me.
Hi, Glass bead
I was told by an individual that paint can be removed and that I should try using vapor blasting instead of using an aircraft paint remover on an aluminum motorcycle frame that is being prepped for powder coating.
I told him that is not what vapor blasting is made for based on researching the process of vapor blasting.
That’s correct Steve
I have no problem removing spray pain and some epoxys but I do not bother with powder coat straight into the dip tank

Is it normal to blast cam bearing surfaces as you did with your head demonstartion.?
