Sand blasting

[Rikki Kitto]

Cheers for the input guys think I might try another way

baking powder....how did someone stumble across that great idea...must have been some strong stuff being passed around the garage that night!!....

I'm having my rocker cover blasted as the current surface "treatment" is not the best.....flaky chrome plating!....

Use soda blast media..... takes a bit longer but dissolves in water.

I would screw pieces of wood over the inlets and throttle body mounts and tape up all of the vacuum take offs before doing it.

Yes, tape up all the threaded holes - everything .

I would go as far as to say it's almost impossible to get them truly 100% free of the media.

Even when you think you've gone well over the top with the post blast cleaning/clearing you can still find some here and there caught in threads, nooks n' crannies etc.

Good luck

MMM exactly what I was thinking

Make sure you clean them out thoroughly when you're done... and then again just to be sure... and then again just to be 100% sure

Is it OK to do this to my rocker cover and the inlet manifold?
