I'm probably going to be selling off some parts and wonder who you folks use for the best rates.  I may sell through ebay, though I'm not quite sure yet.

Thanks,

Is anyone making their own gaskets?  The bulk material I can get locally is a bit thicker than the stock Yamaha material.  Probably fine for most things but probably not for base gaskets.

I bought a set of DG heads a while back and want to use them.  Both domes have piston and ring shrapnel damage.  I read a post some time ago about SCR saving a set of heads like this.  Does he still do this type of work?

I finally got my blast cabinet running and put what I thought was walnut shells in it. Thus was new media I got from the PO of the cabinet.  I blasted a rd350 side cover as a test and the finish is way rougher than I wanted. It's making me think that the media was not walnut, though I did have the pressure at 90 psi.  I'm looking for smoother finish that I can leave as a final finish on engine case halves. Any suggestions?  If I had the coin, I'd buy a vapor blast setup but that's not in the cards.

So, I've got a 79XS400S that was gifted to me as a non-runner with no title. I had thoughts of getting it running but the S model is too funky for me.  I'm also out of room to store it.  So I'm going to strip it for the parts I can use and give away or sell the rest.  I've got all the obvious chassis stuff off of it, but wonder if any of the transmission parts cross over.  Anyone happen to know?  I already have the clutch fibers and steels, clutch pushrod and neutral switch cover off of it.

Thanks!
