Re: hot tanking
is it true that hot tanking is not safe for aluminum parts, like some heads and blocks? i need to learn about this before i build my next engine

Re: hot tanking
I can see why...aluminum can warp easily if the temperature varies too much.

Re: hot tanking
you can tank aluminum, however, it is a different powder.
ours is ghetto, merely a 55 gallon drum and a heater
we just use it on our own shit for liabilty issues.
