What happens here
After honing, the engine block receives its final cleaning. This involves a hot water jet wash with a caustic solution to remove any remaining honing residue and debris. A final hot water rinse is performed to prevent flash rust on the freshly machined iron surfaces. For the cylinder walls, lacquer thinner and ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) are used for a meticulous final cleaning, ensuring every microscopic particle is removed to optimize ring seating during break-in.
Goal: Achieve pristine engine block cleanliness
