I am out in the garage and i am rebuilding a 302 block and like there is so much carbon buid up and rust on the cyl walls and i was wondering if there is something i can use besides my hone to clean it up ( like a engine degreaser or something )

of course i have a hone but i dont wanna use it yet since itwill just dull the sand

 

strip the block bare, on a clean white tile or paper(car board, sit all the parts in the correct order.

take the block to your local machine shop or delaership and have it hot tanked, its free or extremely cheap.



what kind of build you doing?


if no on the shops oven cleaner worked great for me and sos pads

 

i do all the machine work my self dude, i just have never worked with such an ugly block LOL.
331 stroker motor though, i guess ill use some oven cleaner and SOS then =) then ill hone it. it was bored .30 over before i got it and then someone left it out in the weather thats why its like this.

 

oh! you need a bead blast, at the machine shop $20-50.

takes 4 mins, its a do why you wait job.

 

yeah... i was thinking about doing that...
but i dont got one at the shop ill get my pal to do it.
thanks for the help aode

if you need anything let me know haha.

 

what top end kit, or is that later?
yeah unfortunately, some things requires the services of others , despite how hard we try.

Ill give you a GOOD TIP. after its blasted, PAINT YOUR COLOR ASAP, that dam thing will start surface rust fast.

Im fully restored

 

I just went outside and did the oven cleaner and sos so ill see what that does for me... lolllllll
but yeah thanks for everything if u need anything audio let me knowww

I dont have a top end KIT i peices it together, AFR heads, TF cam, edelbrock intake manifold and a holley carb
