I have had several blocks prepped by a few different machine shops here in Texas, and NONE have been cleaned this well by a long shot!! You do quality work and that’s rare today. My hats off to you sir!!

[vincentguttmann]

I'm not saying we are better, I'm giving you the proof that we are better ;) In my opinion, this is one of the best forms of advertising. You can yell slogans all day, but if your customers know that you are doing good work, this is the best advertisement you can get.

We use a soda blaster for cleaning the carbon out of aluminum heads. It’s not nearly as abrasive as glass bead which makes it great for aluminum. Soda also dissolves which gives you the piece of mind that no abrasive is left anywhere in the head

Came from shorts. Like the longer videos so much more. You’re professionalism is admirable

At time about 9:00 seeing the cleaning and also seeing you have removed the frost plugs before cleaning . I remember long ago handing over my old 396 Chevy block to an engine shop, they also popped out the frost plugs for cleaning . It then went out to an industrial ultra sonic cleaning shop . The engine block was so slopped with old grease the shop put it in right side up then upside down then laying on its back . Each was about a ten or twelve minute cycle . After which running clear water through almost all of the passage ways then placing it into some kind of a small drying room . Good video ; removing the frost plugs is such a good idea .

When I worked at the machine shop, we baked blocks and iron heads in a giant oven, usually 500 degrees for 4 hours, then it would go into the shot peen machine, then the tumbler. The best method by far for steel and iron is immersion in a acid tank

[michaelmartinez]

This is the machine shop that I have been looking for!!! They take pride in their work!!!

Always find myself watching these. When you said you were in CO I got curious and you’re 20 mins from where I live! Love it man, keep it up!

Excellent video, thanks,

I was a machinist for a large company that made turbofan engines. Back in the day before anyone knew better, if you were rebuilding an engine, you hauled your iron into the shop at night and we had giant heated trichloroethylene tanks with sprayers. In an hour you had the cleanest blocks and heads you've ever seen going back out to your truck.
We now know that trichlor is a cancer causing substance, but damn did it clean!

Quality and a shit load of old school pride on what you do be nice if there were more people like you who do things right 👍👏

[rushhookhornadventures]

Y’all and precision transmission in Texas are by far the best shops I have seen! Y’all take pride in your work, attention to detail is there and the knowledge is well used in both shops!

At Cummins, we acid dipped blocks, "cold baths" for aluminium, ultra sonic for fuel parts and bead blasting for manifolds, etc.

just saw this video for the first time, guy lifts the lid on the " BAKE OVEN " 1:58 minutes on video
& what do I see in there, a WILLYS JEEP BLOCK in there !! I'LL EAT MY HAT IF IT AIN'T ONE !!
worked on a ton of those over the years, have a 1948 cj2-a restored since 1995 !!

[landonfinnerty]

I'm so glad you showed us this process. Your engines always look so good.

[TheCuriousOrbs]

I can't imagine any other video could explain this better. Really well done.

[dougthomson]

Your cleaning cabinets are a lot more space effective than a hot tank. Love it!

[JP-vsys]

getting to work with your dad. that's unbeatable.

[anthonysantiago]

Your preparation prior to even machining the heads or blocks is phenomenal! Great Video and great attention to Detail.

Other processes to consider include vapor (slurry) blasting, dry ice blasting, laser cleaning, and ultrasonic cleaning. Of these, vapor blasting is probably the most cost effective. Soda blasting is also effective against carbon deposits on aluminum, and very, very gentle on fine casting details.

I worked in a shop in Wisconsin where cleaning was a full time job for one person (myself for a while) We had a large oven and steel shot blaster, large soda blasting cabinet, bead blaster, larger sonic tank that used some kind of mild solvent, and a large and small washer. We ran anything we could bake and steel bast (some iron parts we didn't bake such as Mack diesel heads they would sometimes fail pressure test after baking or certain Pontiac heads had small oil passages that were hard to clean out. Also diesel heads with oil and fuel passages we would bake and wire wheel or soda. So we might sonic and soda or bake and soda), aluminum we sonic tanked then soda blasted. Soda is a pain because it takes longer and is expensive because it only goes through once(no recycling of media). But never worried about glass in the oil passages, soda washes right out easy. Honestly I think the owners were not the most open minded and liked to do things the same way and made me do things that were harder and took longer than necessary. Oh well. If I ever end up in Colorado, I'll send my resume since you guys seem cool!
