I watched the video and thought I'd invite them to see me at work Monday.
I have a number of machines that make dye for toothpaste, and they're blxxdy filthy so this might clean em up a tad, also an opportunity to take a sample bit of engine in for a clean too.. :D :D

Met the chap from Aquablast today and discussed the work job then got onto bike engines. It sounds as though this process is very directional so getting into the smaller channels between fins depends on the size of their tools, the chap thought that vapour would get a better finish and get to all the awkward nooks & crevaces that dry ice wouldn't.
They do offer Soda blasting as an alternative. Sounds as though someone from this site is sending them an engine to do..
