Claening a Tin Sided V8-60
I have tin sided flathead with over 40 years of caked on sludge and managed to remove over two coffee cans of sludge and want to get the block cleaned. I have been told that you don't want to hot tank the block with the tin sides and is like putting aluminum or brass in a hot tank.
Any ideas or methods that others have used to clean tin sided blocks would be helpful. This block is really filthy from not changing the oil. |

Spray washer or hot tank with an aluminum safe detergent won´t be a problem...when the detergent get real caustic it becomes an issue with softer metals.

I thought that the "tin" sides were actually stainless steel?!

if you can soak in diesel leave it in there for a week and it should wash out with soapy water
