Hi all,
Doing a top end rebuild and need to start cleaning up my parts. Question1: Should I avoid soda blasting gasket surfaces when I go to soda blast?
As far as the head goes, should I pull the valves out and clean the carbon with a wire dremel before soda blasting? Or could the soda blast remove carbon? Is there a safer way to remove carbon from the head that doesn’t involve me potentially ruining something.
As far as the valves themselves is there any danger to using a wire wheel to clean these?
I know its important to get rid of carbon before lapping to avoid fouling up the surface, other than that, are there any more dangers I should be aware of before I dive in headfirst?
