Sorry Wayne, can't agree with you on this one.

DO NOT EVER, EVER under ANY circumstance bead blast ANY part of the case. Those %^%(^ beads get every where and if ANY get into your engine, its HISTORY. There are even good reasons not to bead blast the heads, because the beads, tend to embed into tbe metal and then somehow end up in the oil system. Almost any chemical stripper is preferable, as the result is only a plugged oil spicket. With beads, not only can the spicket be plugged, but the rest of the beads can grind grooves in the crank, the cylinder walls, and wreak havok in general.
