round three of the A.I.M.

Post by **aza013** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:00 pm

Ok I have started the 3rd A.I.M. today and will be taking pics along the way

stage one and two are now done

first stage was to clean all the sh*t off it that has been gathering up for years

and yes I whent out and got a sand blaster to get things done faster

stage two grind off all the casting marks/ join marks to get that smoother ook to it.

the next pic is well you could say start and finish

I will up date this as I go.

I'd love one like that.

thanks

I will have to start a list of PPL that would like one that way I have an idea of the number that I need to do.

so if you want one post up your name and GPX or GR with it.

the cost will be $200 and your old A.I.M. that way I can keep going with them.

nice work aza i love the finished work and how it looks. roughly how long did it take u to do it like that?

Post by **aza013** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:30 pm

this one I am doing now will be the 3rd one. Each time I do one I get new tools to help get it done faster

as for time well it takes about 50 hours to do from start to finish.

Is it difficult to take off and put back the manifold ?

Post by **aza013** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 10:02 am

Yes and No

its more of a pain in the ass job but can be done in around an hour.
the big thing is to get all the washers off befor you take the manafold off that way you dont drop them into the motor.

eddiii · Post by **eddiii** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:57 pm

how much more to put it back in ^^

Post by **aza013** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 1:33 pm

a carton of woodstocks will be the price

as that will be to take out the old one and fit the new one in.
