[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 104577, member: 58"] Thanks for the reply & photos David, thats exactly the info I was after. I don't know anybody local with soda blasting equipment so its not easy to have a trial. I do have a Guyson blast cabinet & extractor in my garage which I use for removing rust & paint off non engine parts and could adapt it to use a pressurised soda blasting bottle setup rather than use it outside in the back garden, but these cases and the rest of the alloy parts on the engine are heavily corroded & stained etc and so it looks like soda is not up to it. There is a company 20 miles from me who do vapor blasting of crankcases etc while you wait so I think thats the route, along with every blanking plug out the cases and a very througher clean up after with pipe cleaners / compressed air, taps down threads etc. Simon [/QUOTE]
