Soda Blasting [part 1]



Now that I've disassembled the top end of the engine (mostly to replace a failed cam-chain tensioner), I have three large, heavy-ish and dirty parts. I cannot bring myself to reassemble it without some serious cleaning. I would like to simply drop these pieces off at a small local business on my way to work, and pick them up clean and ready for reassembly after work.






...and below, before the disassembly.









Warning: Rant

I'm nearly certain that one cannot find soda blasting prices online in the Spokane area. I understand that the price will vary by project but I am really surprised at the overall lack of available information. If a fledgling web-designer is looking for a terribly under-represented market, look into the media blasting industry. Though it may be silly, I often prefer to not do business with companies that are not represented by some amount of online media and or information. More importantly, a willingness for email correspondence should be a requirement when obtaining a business license. Not really. I just had it in my head that I could email a hand full of pictures to a few companies and end up with a number of quotes (or at least rough estimates) in my email inbox by the end of the week. Oh well.
