does anyone know a way to get a block thats been in a car for nearly a hundred thousand miles, like so:



and clean it and have it come out like new? is there a simple way? neither of these pics are mine, but we triend it on my friends b16.. toothbrush + simle green + elbow grease did NOTHING.

 

i used an "air dremel" grinder thing, with a wire wheel and some purple power.it came out looking polished almost .. just like above, but better


one of these +
one of these= the hottness

 

almost like this?

 

pretty much, if you wanted to you could use different grit wheels .. just make sure,if you use that air tool. to get one thats rated around 3K RPMS+.. other wise you could go blind .. haha .. seriously

 

why is that?

 

Eye protection my friend. Wire wheels tend to grenade at too high a RPM

 

you could have it bead blasted.

 

different blocks?????

 

i found this stuff in jacksonvill florida at a flea market and it mad my engine look brand new it was a wheel cleaner with lots of acid it stunk so bad but it worked made engine look brand new

 

if anyone knows anyother solvents that would get that corossion off in the first pic i would like to know!!!!!! and so simple green and non of that stuff will work!!!!!

 

english ************....

 

just have the machine shop hot tank it when you get it resurfaced.

 

get it sandblasted

 

I'd see if you could get a machine shop to hot tank it.

My block just got it done the other day. BliNg, BlAnG!

 

This is how mine look like. I cleaned the block, but i havent got a chance to clean the head yet.
