Well, probably wouldn't call it "restoration," but a lot of used car dealers 
in the '50's would steam clean and paint engines.  Sometimes their method of 
painting caused problems with moving parts.

Also there were rare birds, my maternal grampa for instance, who would have 
their engines and chassis steam cleaned every year.
