Thousands of people with bead-blasted engines are riding around out there and having no problem, but S&S’s concerns and stance on bead-blasting – powder coating, polishing and chrome plating, too – are understandable. Glass-bead residue can go anywhere that’s not completely masked off. Multiple thorough cleanings with bore brushes and high-pressure air and water should get rid of the residue unless some happens to attach itself to a bit of sticky oil, sealant, or whatever. Not all mechanics are as thorough as they could be when cleaning engine parts before assembly. No parts manufacturer would accept responsibility for someone else’s negligence. Two potential problems exist with powder coating. First, parts are usually abrasive-blasted before coating. Second, the temperatures required to cure powder can be high enough to change the physical properties of treated aluminum, or at least high enough to alter the fit of value seats, guides, and other critical parts. The objection to polishing and plating by unknown sources is that polishing compound residues are abrasive, and careless polishers sometimes alter precision machined surfaces. Experienced platers and powder coaters such as Sumax have long since mastered these issues, but that’s why engine and parts manufacturers sometimes void warranties on their parts that are in any way modified by an outside source.
