I have a set of 60lb valve springs that got wet some hown and have some rust on them, will it hurt them to sand blast em?
 
I wouldn't blast them. Take them to a machine shop and have the put in a tumbler. Not sure what it's called. Has steel shot and a cleaning solvent in it.
 
Valve springs are hardened spring steel. It takes allot to pit them. Rust on them is usually surface only. Thats why I said to soak them in diesel fuel or you can use a penetrating solvent
 
arent they media blasted from the factory? Thats part of the stress releiving process. I would glass bead blast them prolly not coarse sand.

Thats just me.
