That is a very high price. $300.00 worth of thermal cleaning here would do an entire engine. Block, heads, crankshaft, manifolds, and sheet metal. Typically 3 full loads. So maybe $100.00 a load now.

Parts come out like new castings from the foundry. No rust, paint or anything else, inside and out. We bake iron in a slow rotating drum at about 650 degrees F for an hour. Then it goes directly into a stainless steel shot machine with .030" tiny steel wire shot for 45 minutes.

Where are you located?
