Ice Blasting 3.5 V8

[JimC]

I hate cleaning things, but I love clean things. I even like watching people clean things, especially with something cool (no pun intended…) like a CO2 blaster. I’ve tried getting this service around here but the only outfits seem to be mobile units that want 750-ish just to clean an engine. This guy indicated a hours work and 50 bucks worth of ice, so it would possible to get for just a few hundred buck even though the machine is expensive, I dunno. I just love the idea of working on super-clean parts. Plus the AMMO NYC channel is cool overall.

Interesting. Have been on the steam bandwagon in the past. And yes also feel a clean engine or clean anything is good. Not wanting to spend hundreds to accomplish it yet just keeping up with the engine bay is too hard with existing products.

I saw that. Some super clean and a pressure washer when hot does ok.

Impressive. But they didn’t remove the valley gasket…wonder why

Probably best not to let blasted crud fly into the heart of the engine.

What's the current strategy?

Oops isn’t too hard with current products.

Griots engine cleaner, hot water from hose, a little brushing, and then Griots engine gloss.
