Dishswasher airfilter?
#21
Thank you Oscar...I just figured out how I'm cleaning mine after I finish the porting and valve lapping.
This is so win for me...my wife is Mexican and doesn't believe in dishwashers. Ours has literally just sat there in the 5 years we have owned the house. I was about to rip it out and build her some shelves there, but will wait until I'm done with motor build.
I wonder if I could fit the 1.6L block in there....

"Hot-tanking" is a process almost never done these days because of environmental issues. About the only people I know still using an actual hot-tank are plating shops. What machine shops generally have now is a "jet-wash" cabinet that works pretty damn much like a dishwasher, just built large/heavy-duty enough to stick big-blocks in. The soap we use in ours has built in "anti-rust" stuff though things will still flash rust if you don't blow them down and oil them fairly quickly. We'll generally wash stuff both before and after it goes out for machining, then hand clean/blow out oil passages, cylinder bores, just to be sure.

That's what I thought. We actually have (2) plating lines here at work...and I'd thought about sending mine through the cleaning tank, but I imagine there's enough phosphorous and zinc contamination from the barrel cycles to make it not a good idea.
I wish I had thought to put them in beforehand...would make machining much easier. I didn't want to do a hand clean twice though, so am saving the elbow grease for when I'm done.
Filter turned out decent, but I still prefer my actual K&N kit, finally dropped the $13 and don't regret it.
