Block Cleaning
Can anyone tell me what the condition of a block should be after its "baked" and magnifluxed? Would you expect to see all the old exterior paint come off?

Re: Block Cleaning
The normal process is to bake the complete block in a gas fired oven, and after it cools off enough to handle, it's placed in a large drum rotisserie for shot blasting. When it's done there you wouldn't see a spec of paint or rust or grease or oil anywhere. We clean our transmission castings that way and they have to be painted quite soon after cleanup so that they don't flash rust.

Re: Block Cleaning
As Mac noted, baked is only half of the process.
