>Another question for the list - I would like to disassemble and bead
blast the oil filter head housing to clean it up before I put it back on
my new engine. I am unsure of how to deal with the relief valve body,
however. I want to remove it before blasting to ensure that nothing
ends up with glass on it in the oil system that I can't clean it out
adequately, but as I have never adjusted this when my car was running, I
am unsure if the current adjustment is correct. Any thoughts from
anyone about this part? It looks like it can be removed easily enough
without touching the adjustment screw?

I can't help with details but just a word of caution: if you cant remove
absolutely everything, don't bead blast. A friend of mine got the
opportunity to rebuild his engine again as a result of media in the oil
system.
You might consider a wire wheel instead.
