Default Day cleaning the engine (for the sad people like me)

Stripped down my engine and spent morning cleaning it whilst the heads are away. So now when my parts land it's good to build it back up.

Cheers mate just if rebuilding it needs to be done right. Also have benefit of having a load of specialist cleaning machines to hand

It's not a product mate it's called a hydro blaster it's in short a machine that fires water at massive pressure with glass through a nozzle.
Basically you put part in a tank of degreaser and scrub it then through that machine then rinse then through a big washer (like a dish washer) then rinse again then rinse some more and blow it all out with air pressure.. Then rinse some more then blow it out some more. It's a good bit of kit but you need to make sure you have all the glass beads out for obvious reasons
