Great job Davy!
Ready to assemble so it seems. The case was repairable then?

Nice job Davy, you can eat off that thing!
My case was just like your's a few months ago, not as clean, but pretty close. Here's were I'm at now, minus the fuel injection, recently installed.  Leakproof.

Looking good Leakproof. I will be a while before I get to that stage. Saving for parts and shipping time means I will be off the road until about September. I am however going to keep a blog of progress

 That turned out nicely!! Glad to see the case could be saved.What did you use to get the inside this clean?? Just brake cleaner and a cloth?? Somehow I just don't see me getting my case as spotless as yours. (no need to apologize, I overreacted too. I guess we both needed a deep breath and a 10 second time out before hitting the keyboard.  )

Thanks Geronimo yes the machine shop made a great job on that. As far as cleaning goes after soaking with a water based engine cleaner I hit it with the steam cleaner set as high as it would go. I then hit the bearing webs with some super fine polish and the dremel with some cotton cleaning wheels. 1800 grit paper on the case seal areas. After that about 4 hours with the carb cleaner and lint free cloths. All in all about 6-8 hours cleaning the internals, took a cleaning kit for a 12 gauge and hit all the internal oil lines where the case through bolts are located. Blew through every oil passage I could find and the piston squirters.
I may be a bit anal about cleaning but after years of running and maintaining hydraulic downhole valves in the oil and gas industry I got to know that cleaning and prep work are more than half the battle. Never had a valve fail on me even at 18,000ft and 6,000 psi at 230 deg F.
