i dont know about yours for the V6, does the gasket not come out??

usually the ovens are 180-240 deg C, how hot can the gaskets take?

i have done many zetec covers, and there are plastic clips that hold the plug leads in and they have been fine after heating.

as for shot blasting, that will fuck the gasket
