Lawson's 818C

  • Engine block degreasing and cleanup. I gave them a bath in degreaser and scrubbed with warm soapy water afterwards. They didn’t come out perfect, but much improved. I then used a brass wire wheel to clean up the sealing surfaces of the block halves.
  • Got new JE Hybrid Pistons!
  • Heads are getting machined and cleaned at a shop and should be back soon.

  • Cleaning up the mating surfaces


  • The halves post-cleaning. They’re better at least.


  • More angles of my degreased block.


  • The degreaser bath I used to clean the parts.


  • New JE pistons! Used to reduce compression for hybrid engines.


  • My view outside…10in of snow


  • Post-cleanup for the mating surface.


  • After the degreaser bath.
