Hot Tank block and head?

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Do any other parts go in the tank such as pistons, connecting rods, etc?
Thanks, Rick.

Not entirely true - although I've heard this as well, at the machine
shop I work(ed) at we used a chemical in our JetWash that wasn't
corrosive to aluminum (I can find out the brand name if anyone wants to
know).

Another shop in the area uses a citrus based cleaning solution, and
(apparently) is safe for use with aluminum - the parts smell like
oranges after though, kinda weird...
