My machine shop no longer has the good old block cleaner that used to remove everything, including the cam bearings. The new "dish washer" does a decent job of cleaning off minor crud. He suggested that I send my 348 blocks out to be baked and bead blasted at a local industrial brake shop. They do the job for $80 and it comes back perfectly clean.
But.... the flathead ford motor that he just had done has cracks in it. Could this be from the baking? What's your thoughts on baking my 409 and 348 blocks? Good / Bad / Ugly idea?
