You also have a real problem with disposal of the caustic later on, and if you dump it and get caught out as most people do the fines from EPA are mortgage size   Do yourself a favour and fork out the $30 to get it done -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of E Smith Sent: Thursday, 10 January 2002 7:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: block treatment David, Blocks and engine parts are not acid dipped to clean them. They are “hot tanked” in a hot sprayed very caustic solution in a machine very similar to a home dishwasher. You cannot get as good a job at home.   Cheers Feral Errol   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Costello Sent: Thursday, 10 January 2002 4:44 AM To: Ozdat Mailing List Subject: block treatment   guys I'm thinking of acid dipping my block at home, I've been told the acid they use for dipping blocks and the like is just caustic soda and water.  does anyone know what ratio to mix them? (how many parts soda to how many parts water etc) how long should I leave a block in for?   can the rods be dipped too? mine are covered in crap from lying around the workshop I got em from.   Dave --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
