I am restoring a 1991 Suzuki GP100 and have just finished splitting and stripping the engine casings. They are heavily soiled and I wondered if anyone has suggestions for cleaning the casings in readiness for new bearings / seals etc?

I have considered vapour blasting / glass blasting but can anyone recommend a company to do this or an alternative / cheaper method?

Many thanks in advance Very Happy
