A good point. It came out in conversation that blast media is just one part of his process. He told me about the breather holes in the cam covers that get gunked up. He takes a great deal of care to ensure that every part of the component is spotless.
From our conversation, and given that he has rebuilt engines (and his ZT) I think he's reliable.
