I have one good rear accessory case out of the 2 engines. It is pretty nasty. Can this be disassembled and bead blasted, or what is the best way to clean it up. Does anyone know where to buy the parts for the pump. I want to clean this up and get this part of it done.
Thanks for the help. I think this list is going to be great for the builder like me who just picked up their core engines.

Larry,
I have found that mineral spirits works very well to wash away all the oil and greasy grim. A good soak will leave you with a fairly clean part. After that you should wash the part in water and some sort of detergent. this will wash away the dirt and other water based stuff. The Dishwasher is great for this and will also tell you of how tolerant your wife is going to be for the rest of the project. 
After that all you need is an oil pump rebuild kit.
one things you might want to consider before you reassemble it would be weather you want to run a rear alternator, or not.
If you want a rear alternator you should have the case modified before reassembly.
There are choices at every turn so go slow and do your research.
Are you going to do a front starter or a rear starter?
What airframe are you building?

Larry,
If you have it blasted use walnut shells and the pump can be gotten from www.Clarkscorvair.com.
If you need any thing you can call me as I have other sources for parts that will save you some money.
