I would not bead blast the case or camshaft housings with anything. They contain oil passages which would be hard to clean.

certain to cause engine failure in the near future. No known way to clean all the beads out.

Dipped or nothing... DOn't get it blasted... Would you be willing to risk a bead jamming up a piston squirter or oil passage?
