Honda 500 Straight 4

This 500cc Honda Straight 4 engine came to me in a very poor state – heavily weathered and showing the effects of years of exposure.

After a thorough session of vapour blasting, the transformation was incredible. The engine was restored to an “as new” condition, much to the owner’s satisfaction.

The before-and-after pictures below really show the difference vapour blasting can make, even on engines that look beyond saving.
