Personally, I think part of the problem is that the EPA and others have forced things to the point that when I rebuilt my 350 15 years ago, the hot tank process made that block absolutely virgin. Now, the so called 'hot tank' we have won't even remove the paint. Do you think the cooling passages are clean if the solution won't even take off paint? Shot blasting leaves crap everywhere. Just my opinion.
