Default Re: block cleaning

In either case the shop likely would remove the babbitt as oven cleaning or hot tank processes would leave the white metal as a contaminate and not a good one. Oven cleaning is a good process but the shot only cleans the scale on the outside of the block. The water jackets would have to be poked and prodded to loosen old rust and shot out but it would come out easier than any other cleaning process.
