Blasting a complete engine !
AshimotoK0:
Here is a scenario where blasting a complete engine without stripping would be a reasonable way to restore the outside finish. A friend has a few lovely bikes, which he has meticulously restored over the past 30 plus years. However, he rides all of them so he knows their history and that they were rebuilt properly. Problem is if you ride them then inevitably the engine finish can deteriorate plus there are now alternative techniques to refinish them ( like the 2k clear coat I recently used on my 400-4 wheel hubs. In this case he would be much better blasting like I described, rather than strip an engine he knows is running beautifully with no real issues internally.
