I'm trying to figure out just what to get. It looks like a soda blaster is the way to go. Or is it?

The biggest thing I will ever be cleaning is a cylinder head and not many of those. Mostly alloy parts that I have degreased and want to look nicer before I bolt them back in.

I looked at gravity fed sprayers but apparently you have to refill them about every thirty seconds.

I have a lot of land around me so I don't need a blast cabinet. I just want to be able to go to the shop on a nice day and clean stuff but I want something that will work and not work me.

Think about an alloy radiator fan like you might find on a 108. That's the kind of stuff I am talking about cleaning. Or perhaps a warm up regulator for a 450sl.

Right now I am changing the cam on a six cylinder Fintail and I hate to install the one I found caked up like it is. The lobes are fine but the rest of it has about 50 years of baked on oil.

Any comments on stuff you have used?
