We use plastic media when we prepare a machine for paint. It does not alter the base metal like sand blasting. Glass bead blasting does not remove the baked on black paint very fast either.

We didn't try that, no. I was nervous enough about the hot water pouring into it, and I hadn't removed the rocker shafts by that point either. If it was just the shell, it might be OK to do.
