I wouldn't sandblast anything that will be in direct contact with the engine - you don't want sand getting into your engine bay from a poorly blasted rocker cover.
A much better option would be to use vapour blasting. Unfortunately I dodn't know of any place in London, let alone east London that'll do vapour blasting.

Vapour blasting is fine glass bead and water, smaller than sand, either way it all has to be cleaned out properly afterwardstwenty wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:00 pmI wouldn't sandblast anything that will be in direct contact with the engine - you don't want sand getting into your engine bay from a poorly blasted rocker cover.

You can get it polished, I had one that I sold a few years back to someone on here.
