Geo Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 So getting to the stage now where i've got the crank pulley to pop off, pistons and crank out then its time to clean all the parts. Is there anything i should consider when i send off to the Place that will clean it in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Remove all block core plugs, and oil gallery plugs, steam out all block, crank and head oilways, get the parts hot enough their absorbed heat will self dry them fast, then spray with WD40, wrap and store. Hot tanking will *NOT* clean out oilways. If the engine has crank bearing damage and shrapnel in it, bin the Modine and any associated engine oil cooler matrix. If it has overheated get the head casting hardness tested, and tested for warpage. If it's warped it's probably scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of getting mine cleaned in an ultrasonic bath looking into it just now bud, the ultrasonic cleaning looks awesome and to me looks best, but a tank looks just as good. i'll do some more digging about my area as i dont wana send it away, id rather be local and watch them do it tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
