Can't see the images Barrie, please re submit.

But

Best cleaning results are by vapour blasting or vapour blasting then burnishing- See link to Steve Smethurst, fantastic results, never heard a bad review of his work and loads of guys in Z1OC have used him (inc myself)

Baz,
OBR's A4 cylinderhead and barrels were definately vapourblasted.

If your considering having this done you really need to strip the motor, our kid bought a Z1B that was excellent, the motor had been vapour blasted by someone without stripping it (god knows how he sealed it to prevent grit entering the bowels). Finish was great but when I changed the tacho drive oil seal I found grit in there, luckily it had not migrated into the cam area.
