Just had the '67 250 engine vapor-media blasted.
Is there anything that I should do to maintain it? Engine clear?
Thx

Media blasting engine
According to the bike documentation, the engines for the '60s bevel engines are made of a "light alloy" Not really helpful. I guess Aluminum Alloy?

What is the best media for this that wont damage the engine cases?
Baking Soda? Walnut ...

Not real sure what it is. Last tagged in 1972. The label on the neck of the frame says MKII
Seat does not have the buttons along the side.

Rear fender looks like Monza or GT.
Bend in handle bars doesnt quite look like ...

6 years gone
It has been 6 years since I have logged in here. What have I missed?
I have cleaned out the garage of some things with the intention of finally really starting the '67 Ducati 250 build.
I have been resleeved, honed, valve seats cut, new guides, have a new piston and rings. Taking it out of the boxes ...

I fixed it up and donated it to a private school for their yearly auction. The winner has put 1 mile ...
