Some photos of vapor-blasted intakes for the 2.8 in my SIV. More examples of work done by RestoCycle.
This is an intake from a truck with the EGR port welded shut.
Offy intake before vapor-blasting.
Offy intake after vapor-blasting.
Shiny!
The vapor-blasting peens the surface, helping to close the pores. In my case, I'll experiment with allowing some oxidation before applying a clear coat.
Additional searchwords; Offenhauser 4bbl aluminum polish
