Blasted my R69S engine case,the safe way.......
Before;
And after
Here is my setup,simply some tubing,a air pistol,boxes of baking soda,compresor at 125 psi,and the rod attached to the tube is so you can manipulate the end of the hose for suction of the media.Takes minutes to do,and is cheap and you can even blast the inside of the cases.This may
not work for heavily soiled cases,but for light spraying I am pleased.

Did you just spray it outside (not use a cabinet)?
How much Baking Soda did you go through to do the engine case?
Thanks-
John

I went thrue 3 small boxes of baking soda for the case,then 1.5 for the timing case cover.
I degreased the block and cover inh a solvent tank,and the baking soda took care of the staining,and there are no glass beads to ruin those brand new engine bearings I am going to install!
The hose is 3/8" i.d. from the hardware store and the air gun is a 6 dollar ebay special.You need the skinny tip on the gun for max velocity/pressure.The air blowing thrue the tbe makes a vacuum sucking up the baking soda,and I "stir" the wand in the box to get even distribution.

Using a small pistol type air gun,I made a home-made siphon blast gun and with some baking soda proceeded to blast my engine,and it came out GREAT!
This is awesome since there is no harmful residue,it is non-toxic and you can use it to clean your carbs,case,whatever.It is mild but strong enough to make the cases look like new again.And will not make the pores of the case look "too big".....I will post some pictures,but just wanted to share,since I am happy with the results.It cost about $20.00 in supplies to do the case.
