Cast aluminium manifold casting cleaned back to bright metal

The starting point

The casting came in with a dull, grubby surface and built-up dirt in the ribs and recesses.

What we did

We vapour blasted the whole casting, including the ribs and the areas around the bolt bosses. Gasket strips are best removed before blasting, so parts should arrive stripped.

The result

The casting is now clean and bright with an even satin finish, and the ribs and bosses are clear of dirt.
