- If at all feasible I would have to block hot tanked. This will get it CLEAN. If this isn't possible, then I would just tape off all gasket surfaces and hit it with a wire wheel, then a wash down wit

- Hi there, I've done three blocks over the last 5 years. Would recommend having it hot tanked as someone else suggested but then follow up with Dupont 5717s metal conditioner. You cut it 2:1 with wat

- Ok, thanks for the replies (to Steven as well!). I will likely have it tanked as that seems like the highest quality way to go. What about the heads, should I just strip them down and do them as well

- Be sure not to tank any aluminum parts, they will dissolve in the tank. Dave Russell /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordomo@autox.team.net or try /// http://www.team.net/mailman/listinf

- Just a quick note, I recently had my TR6 block and head dipped. I believe it is money, and whatever inconvenience encountered, well spent. When you get your block back from the shop, it may have a li

- Worst case, I suppose I could just wire brush any remaining bits off the engine. Hmm, wonder if I can get the block into the back of my 4runner... It's coming out of the truck I'd use to haul it in o
