Patrick,
Whenever I have an engine cleaned and worked on the machine shop
automatically removed the old plugs in order to get all the passages cleaned
out. I'm not so sure I would want my block sand blasted anyway too much of a
chance of the sand or other blast media getting lodged in the engine where I
don't want it.
