I scarfed up a spare TB at the junkyard after getting my original bored out by you a month ago. Any chance you can/will offer a 65mm boring spec to mate with the stock intake manifold opening? Just asking...

 

put me on the list as well, I'll head to the pick and pull and see what they have as far as cores go. I need one for a 2000 XJ

 

Im not even sure the stock casting will go that far without getting into the bearings....but if it could, you would have to find or make a bigger throttle plate, and elongate the space in the shaft for the bigger plate. Unless you have a big stroker...probably wouldnt be able to use the extra size regardless.

 

TOMMYDONE, you are on the list....Ive got cores available........so PM me for payment details if you want one right away.

 

Please add me to the list for a 97 w/auto trans. PM sent with details. Thanks!

 

I've got a TB I would like to have bored. Please send address and cost. I'll box up and mail with payment. Thanks.

 

TB received!
Fast turn around time!
Sandblasted and cleaned!

Great Seller!
Thx for the extra effort

 

if I payed 40 extra on shipping and everything think you could bore clean and paint my tb?

 

I havent painted any yet, but what color were you thinking??

 

PM returned. Look forward to hearing from you.

FWIW: I'm a gunsmith (don't have my shop open yet though) and I do some firearm refinishing from time to time. I'm planning on spraying my TB with Cerokote when I get it back. As tough as that stuff is, it should hold up longer than the rest of the truck. It's chemical resistant as well so there's no need to worry about gas or oil dissolving it. Once I do mine and I'm happy with it, I'll have a better idea if it's something I want to try to do for other people. I'll post pics as soon as I get it done to see what you all think. The only down side is the Cerokote itself is pretty expensive. However, since my shop's not open at the moment, and I have a bunch of colors on hand, I may as well use it for something.

 

That sounds like a cool idea.....cant wait to see what one looks like with that on it.

 

BTW, What blast media do you use? I have to ask because the glass beads can leave silica remnants in the surface of the metal that the coating won't adhere to (fisheyes). The black aluminum oxide media is much better in this regard, but lower air pressures are required since it's so much more agressive on the base metal.

Off the top of my head, I know I've got several different colors on hand right now:
Flat Black
Desert Sand
Olive Drab
Coyote Brown
Sniper Grey (gunmetal)
Flat Clear

 

Ive been using the aluminum oxide I believe it is, and that leaves a flat, dull finish. I just started using 80 grit glass beads at the house, which leaves a much more polished, almost chrome like finish. I can use either, depending on preference.

 

Hmm, I didn't get any notifications since my last post until just now - Do you have a 97+ core?

I still want to do this for my 98.

 

I ll check my list tonight....unless I missed you....probably be about one more week.
