Unfortunately due to my phone cameras inability to take photos i have no before pics but i'm sure as you all frequent a nova forum you can imagine what sh!t and corruption was stuck to them.
Anyway here is the end result just a few bits that were easy to take with me and clean - degrease, hot wash, shot blast.

And some other brackets

And the cam cover which i shot blasted by hand (the breather was sealer with tape first so shot would not get in) - the water marks are from a final hot wash i gave it after blowing it out etc to make sure there was no shot etc left at all.

Mmmmm clean :thumb:
Good work James, it only takes time to make things look nice like that, not money. I like your style.
What media are you using to do all that ?
Cheers again Dave
Cheers JB although these parts are only a small selection of the bits that need cleaning they are part of the bigger picture, i feel cleanliness is important in this situation (some of you may just feel i'm being bufty but no engine builder in their right mind would be knee deep in sh!t when building an engine) so i try to be as clean as possible.Quote:

Those shot blasted bits look well. Very nice
I did an xe thermostat housing that was completely fooked just to see what it came out like, its come up well but is heavily pitted were the ali had been eaten
