Yes, I know that this is a MG list, BUT, I'll assume that many of you at least have a passing interest in other cars. According the the April 28 issue of 'Autoweek', Jaguar is no longer going to make

Hot tanking is a cleaning process. The block is soaked in a hot pressurized chemical solution. I think Kerosene is the main ingrediant, but every machine shop has their own way. Blueprinting is when
