Im embarking on engine work next week. Removing intake manifold and want to have it hot dipped, cleaned, as that is how its been termed to me. Anyone have a place to recommend in the Folsom area or close?
In addition, after the hot dip I want to apply wrinkle paint? Also a new thing to me so a place to recommend for that too?
Thanks a bunch!
I don't have a place to recommend, but if you open up the YP and call some of the local engine rebuilders I am sure they do it or could tell you the best way to go about it to find someone.
When I built the engine for the EB I just used a wire wheel, oven cleaner, engine degreaser etc to clean up the parts. Rattle can them with your favorite color and call it done. Its not a show vehicle and you are only going to take it out and get it dusty, dirty, muddy so it didn't make a lot of sense to me to put a lot of money into it, but YMMV.
Thanks for providing your mileage experience. I'm not into showing it up either, but thought a silly color wouldn't be too much to do. 🙂
So upon calling up some shops do I actually say "hot Dip"?
I have heard the term "hot tank". I am sure any engine machine shop worth its weight could do it.
