The 8" piece of line worked good except for cylinder #6 and there I used the 4" nozzle.
I made my own vacuum attachment elbow using a 90 deg PVC pipe slip fit elbow (1" if I remember correctly). I heated one end with a heat gun to soften it and formed it into an oval shape to fit the head ports. I ended up doing a little filing and wrapping with paper tape to get a good snug fit in the head. Then I drilled a small hole in the back of the elbow to accept my spray nozzle 1/4" brake line. The other end of the PVC elbow fit onto the end of my shop vac hose and was held in place with duct tape.

Sounds like you MacGyvered the shit out of everything lol
So you're saying you used one of the red abrasive blasters? The portable one I was referring to is grey

Here's what I think you used?

My question was in reference to the cheap portable one and whether or not that would work. The 20 pound unit looks like it would definitely work. I'm just running out of space for all my tools so I'm hoping I don't need this big ass abrasive blaster sitting around after only using it for a few hours.
