Soda Blasting
 
Fellow Pelicanites

Is it OK to hit the mating surfaces (i.e. head/cylinder, cylinder/case, case/case) while cleaning (i.e. carbon/oil stains, old sealing compound) with soda at 100psi? Will it damage the sealing surface?

1990 3.6L

TIA

Hi Bill,

I am running my soda blast pod at 120psi and I have noticed no problems with the mating surfaces. The soda is very good for such conditions.

That being said, it would be interesting to hear some additional thoughts (since I have only had my blast pod for 3 months)

Regards,

Bill,

Use that stuff at 100-120 psi with no worries,..:)

Thats the very best way to clean aluminum engine parts.

So the dullness I see after I hit a shiny aluminum surface is not pitting the surface?

1st time 911 rebuild

TIA
