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

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
