Always had mine vapour blasted. Guys I use rinse them well afterwards but I always have another go when I get them home. Once dry, get some oil on the bores to stop them flash - rusting. Vapour wont damage bores or gasket surfaces. Avb on the forum does vapour blasting Dusty

I fit old bolts into all the thread ways on the cases. Keeps the blasting media out, and although I rinse every blind hole out afterwards anyway, I've never found media in a blind hole with a bolt fitted. Saves a lot of time and hassle Dusty
