The motor is all torn down so that's not an issue.

Is sandblasting the best way to get the paint off a motor? I am not sure if I am going to powder coat or paint it yet.

bump, what is up with this?

its going to be a mechanical bond any ways so I don't see what a 1 inch difference is going to make. I plan to hit this with some 36 grit before I lay the carbon.

I have actually read over that post several times. that's probably the way I will do it. one Q on that though. so you make your tape pattern then stick that to the carbon, flip the carbon over and spray the opposite side with the spray?

some of the videos I have seen on youtube show people putting a light coat of epoxy on and letting it get a little tacky and then laying the carbon down. I have never heard any one mention this method on here. Whats the best way to keep the carbon from fraying and looking like crap when you lay it?

I tried the bolt thing on the main line this year and it actually leaks just a bit no matter how tight the clamp was, but I guess its no big deal if its on the pulse fitting or something.

alright bond line is filled. I should be able to lay the carbon tomorrow.

I am going to try to just run off my reserve this year, so I need some ideas on what to use to block off my main line coming out of the tank.

I would like to know more about how you got those flame arrestors on there.

I have cleaned my hull pretty good so I don't think it will be an issue.

Alight ribs are ground out as much as they are going to be, man that was a huge mess. I have it all wiped down so I guess I will fill the bond line next. I am not sure if I will get to that tonight or not though.

You mean you don't think the por15 will adhere? I roughed it up a bit already.

alright I finished scrubbing the hull out. Now I guess I will grind the ribs and start prepping for the carbon. I think I am going to order some por15 and use that to coat the bottom of the hull.

wow A+ for effort though...

midshaft is off. and a pic for my reference

day 3 for the tank, it looks black in person but the flash still shows the brown. I guess I don't need it for a month so I could just leave it in there.

Its all good I am happy with mine.
