Sandblasting
Well I got all my parts back from the sandblaster today, getting ready to
go to the powdercoaters next week, wasn't going 2 powdercoat this any way, but now it won't get any paint at all, you may be able to see all of the stress cracks in her, I guess this means it ain't worth using, did only pay $10 for the pulley, so it's not the end of the world, but it was little bit smaller than stock, kinda would have given me an underdrive set-up, anyone know if it's worth saving, or should it just go in the trash can

Definitely not worth repairing. If you have it welded it'll have to be rebalanced.
