Video of Moyer rebuild Process
Would like to see a Video (utube?) of a typical engine going through
the Moyer rebuild process. Could be a series of pictures, but video would be better |

67, without actually knowing how they do it, I bet there is a lot of tedious work involved. I had a mech. fuel pump in a 1 gallon paint can of that carb cleaner stuff for weeks and I STILL wasn't able to get all the paint off.

Meticulous
MMI does their builds with meticulous attention to detail and spec. Anyone who rebuilds an engine must do the same or it won't last long. Don probably had a couple of aircraft mechanics on the payroll for a while...joking but still LOL...and those guys are meticulous.
I think Don was a pilot....METICULOUS...ever ask a pilot to do something...they put all the ducks in a row then do it. The approach is organized, step by step, based on procedure and training....sort of like medics ...and then gut feeling when the plan goes South. I once rebuilt an engine for my Toyota 4x4 truck "by the book" (manual). Was in PA school and couldn't afford to have it done professionally. Had a wife and baby at home...24 years ago. Went to school until 4pm, dinner, worked on truck engine in hobby shop on base until 10pm, then studied until midnight. Had the engine done and installed 2 days before graduation. Drove 1600 miles back home. "It had to work... it just don't know it yet". I use that saying today, and that's where it came from. When I sold it about four years later it didn't burn a drop of oil between changes. Not because I am a great mechanic, but because I ensured I followed procedure and spec. People learn in different ways. Pics and video can provide the needed boost for someone to go ahead and attempt the "insurmountable". It helps with confidence...been there and got through that. Whatever MMI decides to do is fine with me. I am just happy to have this forum and am learning more and more every day...and certainly enjoying it.

Then I scrub with mineral spirits to remove grease and dirt, and then finally several wipe-downs with paint bonding solvent (which is a blend of volatile organic solvents) until the wipes come away mostly clean. Here's the manifold and head after that treatment:

That manifold almost looks like it has been subjected to a gunmetal blueing process. Very nice.
