I asked what he used (in the end, it took a couple of days longer than expected because the paint on the heads was baked on and particularly stubborn, unlike the cases) he said "The stuff I usually use for carbs". The cases get vapour blasted all over. I expressed great concern about gasket and bearing surfaces but he assures me there's no dimensional change or metal removal. He does prep for Padgetts, Stan Stevens, Bob Farnham and even our old friend Paul Smart, so I guess he knows what he's doing.
