Glass bead blasted underside of valve cover!!...

[Chrisbike]

Ok guys, recently I took my valve cover and intake manifold to get sandblasted, we agreed on using glass bead.. What I didn't know is that the guy sandblasting my valve cover was going to clean up the underside where the baffle is. I'm genuinely concerned and don't want to ruin my engine because it has a bunch of sand in it...

Edit: decided to just buy another valve cover
As for the intake. I'm just going to use a air compressor to make sure all the glass media is out.

You can always grind the rivets off and then work out some way to reinstall the baffle.

Or use compressed air and cross your fingers.

I decided that instead of doing all that I'm just going to buy another valve cover. It will have to be messed with later. Need to get my e30 back on the road.. To many steps in the wrong direction.
