Cylinder head acid dipping?

[Laine_16v]

Am building an engine up at the moment, have just stripped the head and done a bit of diy beadwork. I now want the head looking like new, so you get it acid dipped yeah? I can't find anywhere that does it in the southwest, anyone got any reccomendations?

If not I've also been told concrete/cement liquid cleaner when diluted gives a very effective sollution for a lower cost (cheers stan). Does anyone know the name of a suitable product?

Thanks in advance

Try a company called Langcourt. They specialise in the repair of nicasil plated aluminium cylinders - they acid dip to clean them up prior to processing. Might be worth a phone call.

Hope this helps,

autosmart TrebleX. It's descaling acid, same as the concrete disolving stuff stan told you about. Just wear gloves and glasses. it stings like a motherfucker

Cheers, tubs of it on ebay for £24, pricey but good for cleaning metal parts up i guess

i work for jewsons in keynsham(stock in all branches, yate, easton and ashton) and we sell brick acid. i know it works as we use it in house to clean up cement mixers with dried out cement all over them.

cost about £15 inc vat

also thinking about it have you tried Mcarthers in bristol. metal fabrication company, they do galvinising, not sure on acid dip. but could also be worth a shout

bit extreme to send it to oselli for cleaning!! i bet there's at least 5 engine reconditioners/engineers in or around bristol who could put it in their tank
