I like to do this when im building a motor, but it doesn't add hp or anything..

it will make the block look new, and it will clean on the inside as well. If there's oil in there, the oil can attract and hold dirt, dust, or metal and keep it in your motor while your assembling it.

You get your motor looking nice, clean of all metal shavings that might have occured in the machine shop, ready to be assembled in a clean room if your **** ( i am)...it's worth what they charge and not a bad idea, but not absolutely necessary or anything.

Having a clean block may also help you find and/or keep track of fluid leaks that you may encounter.
