had a friend bead blast one of my spare un usable heads as a test. Looks ok but he didn’t tape up anything and blasted everything except the threaded areas....what do y’all recommend I knw the heads I’m going to use would require all new everything full service can I go ahead and blast the ones that I’m gonna use
