My slow Widebody B6 Build

[BreakMyWallet]

stripped the block down today.



anyone know the best way to go about cleaning the pistons? should i have the shop do it or is it an easy diy?

Just a work of advise. You should keep the main caps and rod caps assembled or at least labeled where they go. Unless you are going to have them line honed. I would drop the cash to have the block hot tanked, depending on what you are trying to accomplish with it.

holy crap load of fiberglass work.

Oven cleaner works well, but I typically use aircraft remover on any aluminum parts b/c it cleans fast and rinses clean with water. (oven cleaner can leave light spotting which won't harm performance but I'm sorta OCD about my engine builds)
