It depends on what the machine shop used for solvent in there hot tank. Some of that solvent will eat the bearing right out of an engine. Some have a soapy solution that won't hurt babbit. BUT, if your running an engine thro a hot tank why are you leaving idle gear in the block? If you going to clean an engine STRIP IT FIRST. Walt
