No reason blast the bottom side at all. As for the top, did you try a second application of the stripper?

I can see the ridge now that is exacerbated by the powdercoating...

I disagree with this. If you dipped the entire cam cover in a chemical stripping solution, it did its job loosening the factory coating, even if it didn't lift if off the inside. This means the inside coating is, of has the potential to flake off. I'd blast it completely off, otherwise you take the risk of particles being ground up by your cams.. Why would you take that chance?

Why not just buy a pair that has been previously done? This way you know it is done and has been inspected.

Dave Lomas normally has a set or two laying around looking for the next buyer. He will ship you the complete set then you just send him your cores.

Run with that. Looks good.

You have some hole-cleanup to do because of the thick application, but it looks good.

what would you use for the small clean up
I have a dremel with the big 100 piece kit.
but there are so many attachments

I would use a bearing scraper to cut some of that at the holes.

the problem is that they used plugs to fill the holes, and now the gaskets won't seal for the bolts...... I've learned that if you can see or feel imperfections in the cam covers or intakes then you will see it in the finished products. The expensive part of the cam cover is prep.... what I've found is that if you have the same place blast and powdercoat then they won't do ANY quality control between the process.

I use easy off oven cleaner for softening up the factory coatings, and it works well for powder coating as well. then I let it sit for about a week, applying multiple applications of the easy off. then I scrape the covers to get the bulk of the coatings off, followed by media blasting using soda or walnut shells. if you are comfortable with sand blasting and pressure washing you can do that as well. but those options are up to the individuals as there are serious and damaging repercussions if not done correctly.

i am using these bolts.
I think they can seal
maybe a dab of hondabond on each

I used the Dremel to clean it up and get in the small lettered areas. It takes a week of fussing with it.

Whoa! That's like polished. Just clearcoat it!
