    Basic sand blasting will give the same finish to be honest. Done it with my latest engine and everything comes up great but getting rid of all the sand out of the ports is a complete nightmare.

    Is there a better way to clean it such as covering all the ports up and using nitro mors?

    Nice work. but... you've got the pistons in the wrong way fella. valve cut outs on the pistons should be towards the back of the engine.
