Engine Cleaning (hot tank)
I'm interested in getting my block that i'm building to look pretty, how clean does hot tanking actually get the block and if anyone knows a good place and decent prices please let me know I already degreased and cleaned the hell out of it but it's just not looking shiny and clean enough for me.
i want it to be like....brand new looking, is that possible?

hey john, from where yo have it now, go tot an auto parts store and ask for "casters grey" it is a textured paint that gives a look of a factory aluminum or iron block but in a grey, not that ricey silver but a new looking grey color.
i did this to my gsr block and it looed brand new. just take off all the accesory parts, i primed mine just to be on the safe side, painted the block, then painted all the accesories gloss black. looked perfect. just make sureit is free of grime and that its dry.
sounds stupid but i used a wire tooth brush thingy to get all the crap off mine, theres nothing wrong with wanting your shit to look nice
