Sand blasting concerns

Posted by Jon from NY on June 15, 2004 at 17:59:10 from (152.163.253.103):

The picture and letter in the forum below of the "C
near finished" is prompting me to ask for feedback on the pros and cons of sandblasting the engine, tranny, and rearend of the 300 I'm restoring. I've never blasted before and have read in some other forums of cautions about blasting sand getting behind seals and causing immeasurable dammage. If all openings where I don't want sand to go are sealed up and I don't shoot directly at greese seals and other vulnerable components, is this really a bad way to go? I planned on leaving the intake and exhaust manifolds on during the process to keep material out of the head. I'd appreciate your collective input. Thanks! Jon
