Just fishing for some help; I’ve torn down this 270 Super Red Ram Hemi (’55 Dodge) and I’ve got a buddy with a chemical bath that’ll clean it all up for me. Now, he says it’s not an ‘acid bath’ like I’ve used in the past at Military Craft shops, but it uses a chemical and, a lot like a dishwasher, cleans all the parts up but it’s not a corrosive type of chemical, just a cleaning agent. So, what should I haul over to his place? I’ve got the block, heads, and intake in my Jeep (“Hey, has that Jeep got a Hemi?!?” ...“Yup.”) (my Jeep is “saggin’ and baggin’” right now!!!) but should I stick in anything else? I wouldn’t normally do it in an ‘acid bath’, but should I consider cleaning the crank, rocker arms, whatever else?? I'll have a shop sonic-test or magniflux the block and heads once they're clean, but your thoughts on the other stuff going for a 'dip' are greatly appreciated!!
Thanks Gang!
Dana
