HI John, Are you using stainless flake shot or balls? would the blasting affect any clearences like the mainline or lifter bores, etc? A lot of the bigger local shops near me have a bayco oven, but then just jet wash it afterwards, I like the sunnen system better. thanks again. -scott

@scotts439 - I'm using the cast stainless balls.

I paused it at 3:28 it looks like it has a head bolt broke of in the block.

@Chevypower265 glad im not the only one who caught that

After the blast on some blocks you can see a haze of oxide left on the blocks. Do you sometimes turn the block around for better access to hard to hit spots?

[Chevypower265]

@fiatnutz Oh alright, I just assumed you was doing it. Thanks for the reply anyway though!

[fiatnutz]

@Chevypower265 - This is a cleaning project for another machine shop, so I guess he will take them out.
