I was vapour blasting aircraft engine parts in 1964 and it was not a new process then and yeah it does give a good finish.

I had these hubs vapor blasted, very clean finish

[dave500]

it does clean well,i wonder though how hard the contact surfaces of that gear set would be after the rust has been removed?

Dave if I remember properly we'd use on pistons, conrods, crankshafts, but not valves, and that I don't remember why, James I've never seen dry dry Ice blasting so can't compare.

a close up of those gears would have to show pitting?the vapor wont hurt them its the rust etch thats on my mind,theres a few companies here that advertise in bike magazines etc with that service.
