Jason, Before you try bead or any other abrasive media blasting give the parts a wash with Formula 409, and then Eagle One Formula B mag wheel cleaner. The 409 gets all the grease out of the pores of the aluminum, and the mag cleaner etches the surface to give it a consistent look. Make sure you use HOT water for the cleaning and rinsing in order to get maximum effectiveness. Clean between cylinder and head fins with a thin, round brass brush. The cases can later be sealed with sodium silicate gel, thinned to a water-like consistency, applied with a paint brush and immediately dried back out with a heat gun. I did this on my cases, they look great and are easily cleaned . jason telford wrote:
