Soda Blasting Cylinder Head

[Agemax]

A hot power shower, or even a pressure washer quickly blasts out any remaining dirt/soda that is left lurking in places it shouldn't be.
A hot ultrasonic bath would be even better if you have one big enough

The hotter the water, the better

Boil water in your tea kettle and rinse with that, or, if you have a big enough pan (turkey roaster) boil it on your grill in that

I thinking about DIY soda blasting the whole engine, too. I find a similar look gun, than you Nessim. I can borrow a compressor for the job. Can you tell me how long did it take to blast the cylinder head, and what pressure did You use? Thanks.

I used something like 120 psi at the compressor, which after pressure drop through the air filter and 100' of hose was a fair bit lower at the gun. The head I did was quite corroded so it took a fair bit of time to clean as shown in the photos - 30 mins. or so. You might not need so much time though.
