We’re running two weeks behind on getting started—sorry about that.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen corrosion this severe.
We replaced the intake manifold too. The rubber parts are getting sketchy, so it might be better to stock some spares just in case.
Wow, there’s a lot of rust and it’s pretty bad. We’ll need to discuss whether to remove it or what to do about it.
It’s looking pretty rough.
I wonder what it takes to destroy an NJ—anyway, we have stock, so we’re replacing it with a used one. By the way, the NJ is pretty pricey.
It was cracked and held together with liquid gasket. Well, that’s just how it goes.
We removed it before polishing.
We thought we’d have to make one, but we had stock. This should bring it back to life.
It’s just a choke, so we could disable it, but we’re keeping it for now.
We try different approaches each time. We’re upgrading the process with each job, thinking about the next one.
It’s been reborn smooth and shiny—looks great.
Recently we’ve refined our process even more and can now handle four at a time.
PS washers missing in some spots / NJ crushed and corroded badly / choke bypass cracked and more—looks like we’ve got our work cut out for us.
