Cleaning Engine Blocks
Thoroughly cleaning an engine block after machining services at Adrenaline Automotive Machine is a crucial step to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The process typically involves several steps:
Initial Cleaning:
The engine block is first subjected to an initial cleaning process to remove any large debris, oil, and grease. This is often done using a combination of degreasers and high-pressure washing.
Machining Residue Removal:
After machining services such as honing, milling, or boring, there may be residues like metal shavings or coolant. Thorough cleaning eliminates these residues to prevent any interference with engine components or the lubrication system.prototypes meet your exact specifications.
Baking or Thermal Cleaning:
The engine block may be subjected to a baking or thermal cleaning process. This involves heating the block to high temperatures to burn off carbon deposits, oil, and other contaminants. This step ensures a clean and smooth surface for optimal engine performance.
Ultrasonic Cleaning:
Ultrasonic cleaning may be employed to remove fine particles and contaminants from hard-to-reach areas. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to create cavitation bubbles, effectively dislodging and removing dirt.
Acid Bath or Chemical Cleaning:
Some cases may require an acid bath or chemical cleaning to dissolve mineral deposits or stubborn residues. This step is carefully controlled to prevent damage to the engine block.
