I want to ask before I do this, has anyone used a sand blaster on the outside of the Block to both remove paint and surface material to start with? Do I dare use one on the inside of the block? Could I change to a different media, if light sand is too course/rough. I removed the rust off one of my trailers using the two-sand blasters in stock. The tool is a container with a strap to shoulder, using it with a wand that attaches to an air hose. What pressure should I use. Since the Block is completely empty, I would not pull the oil plugs until I am done, and I could fill anu remaining oil holes with some type of plug. I would blow out the Block when done, then wash it, then pull the oil plugs and blow them out afterwards. The oil passages never rust, when oil is in them, as is in my case.
So what are your plans ? Are you boring and putting in new pistons.
