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.
