I want to blast clean some used engine pistons (alloy), with minimal base material removal. What can I use as the blasting medium, or are they better vapour blasted in some way? Thanks.
Blasting medium for IC engine pistons?

Walnut shell
Thanks for that, worked fine in a friends machine with that stuff in it, and some medium duly ordered. Cheers.
I have some wankel rotors and housings that sure have some stubborn stuff on them. I'm about ready buy that $99 HF cabinet and some walnut shells.
