Today we dive into properly prepping your power plant for maximum performance. We kick things off with a detailed engine tear-down, stressing the importance of methodical steps and careful inspection of each component. Then, we walk you through the pre-cleaning process using wire wheels and gasket scrapers to ensure the block is spotless. Next, we chase every threaded hole, tap in gallery plugs, and deburr all the sharp edges to smooth any potential issues. From there, the block goes to the machine shop for thorough cleaning and precise machining. After getting everything sparkling clean, we show you the critical final cleaning steps—scrubbing every nook with soap and water to eliminate contaminants. By the end, you’re set for a spotless assembly. Don’t skip out on these essential steps.
