1 box single edge razor blades

Right angle die grinder & scuff pad kit

Base gaskets are the worst but with the studs removed it's a lot easier. Since I always go with APE studs they're out of the way anyway....

Any spots left come right off in the blasting cabinet.

yeah larry i have been using the razor blade and die grinder teq.

"why did they put that nasty silver paint on there"...

Is that really paint or deceptive lighting in the image?

I was under the impression they where bead blasting it pre head work no... Well if they painted it I'd be pissed as well...

Joe, don't forget and don't be shy with the amounts, engine/lifter lube on those cams, under the cam bearing/caps, valve buckets/shims etc....

Hate to say it, but that is not glass bead!
That is an aggressive media. Looks like aluminum oxide or plain old silica sand!
I glass bead stuff all the time.
