I did not request to get it hot tanked. What is bad about hot tanking. I am not sure how he got it that clean. He had that block there already when i sent mines. Mine was a bad block. It is a long story.

 

Nice

 

Thanks, Rod.
The first process in sleeving is to hot tank. In the olden days, hot tanking was a bad thing because it ate aluminum. It WAS like an acid bath and very caustic.
NOW it done like a dishwasher and uses a NON-caustic solution that is aluminum safe and enviromentally friendly.
For the record, Rod sent one of the worst blocks I have ever seen still in one piece. It had been previously butchered by several people.

we want pics of before hand

 

ya those parts washers are cool ****. I have used a big Barracuda one before. Unreal how much time it can save you

 

Two sleeves up and two sleeves down..it looked like a kid that needed braces
We pulled number one sleeve out and realized there was no hope.
I think it might be part of an Edelbrock manifold somewhere now

 

I'm definetly happy and impressed with the block I got back from earl last week. Everything lookds great!!

Mad thumbs up for Earl

Here's a few pics to prove it!!
