UPbansheeRacer Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 in the bottom of the cylinders theres a rubber strip for something is it removeable so i can powdercoat my cylinders? also how do i remove the vent that the hose by the water pump goes through on the clutch cover and the seal and bearing for the water pump impeller? if i turn my sandblaster down so not as much sand comes out and stand back and mask off the spots that cant be blasted would it work is i sandblasted the cylinders and clutch cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesrtoys Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 the rubber strip on the bottom of the cylinders is so that coolant doen't pour into the crank when removing the cylinders.yes you can remove it, but put it back when done P/C.i'm not sure about the rest as mine didn't have the vent tube and my water pump was brand new when i bought it.

Larry's Shee Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 If it were me I'd use new as you may damage them removing. Regardless use 3bond, yammabond, or simular sealant. I would not use silicone. JMHO your results may and will vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phelps Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 so what about removing the old paint i dont wana screw my cylinders or clutch cover up baking soda in a sand blaster... the cylinders may require silica sand, but use duct tape and tape the cylinder walls so you dont blast the bore.
