Can anyone recommend a company in uk for engine acid dipping? And also vapour blasting if possible. Thanks in advance

Hello Mooney, do you have a name? Please add it to your signature area (click on your user name top right).
It’s much nicer to address you by your name.

If you search on here for “acid” you’ll see various comments from people who have either acid dipped/treated the block themselves or turned to others for help. Have a look at those answers, please. Let us know if that solves your problem.

And look at the topics listed below as they may help, too.

I’ve been looking into engine cleaning options myself and hadn’t thought to search the forum using “acid” as a keyword. Good call on checking related topics, too; there’s a lot buried in old threads. Appreciate the direction!

Hi.
You don't say which engine you have. You may find the results will be different between acid dipping an alloy block and a cast iron lump.
