Randy is Dj-Infinit. This is Lyle old engine out of his Sil40.
i know who randy is?
Hot tank is at a machine shop… they basically boil the block in a huge tank that gets hot lol
Boiling the block really the only way to get serious carbon buildup taken off but it works stupid amazingly and you won’t regret it. Or if you have a pot big enough just boil it yourself lol…
lol i might just boil them myself, just the pistons, someone told me carbon carb cleaner would work? updating soon for the past 2 days

okay so yesterday i spent most of the day measuring, i was by myself most of the day just listening to my ipod in peace, i miked the crank and all the main and rod journals were within spec, so this weekend im sending the block out to get honed and the crank out to get polished, i should be getting my bearings and main studs from bing soon, so the bottom end will be going back together soon. i also took the pistons off the rods and started to clean the oil pan.
QUALITY
after i did all that, i tried getting the carbon off the pistons, so i bought a jug of varsol and soaked them in it over night… i didnt do shitand i rinsed them off and wiped them with rags still nothing, so im going to try boiling them, does anyone know if theres a specific temp to boil them at?
