Can someone sandblast a block for me for next to nothing or free? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

STiGuy06 · 12-04-2009, 10:01 AM

As most of you prolly know i finally found an engine to do my coffee table with (picking up saturday morning). After i strip the engine down, i'm going to want it sandblasted to look new again. Anyone around the Lehigh Valley area willing to do this?

06njsti · 12-04-2009, 11:32 AM

why do you want it sandblasted? take it somewhere with a parts cleaner machine that uses soundwaves to cleam. It will make the engine look brand new

STiGuy06 · 12-04-2009, 02:20 PM

it'll take off rust? What would this run me? I don't even know who'd have that machine.

06njsti · 12-04-2009, 03:07 PM

oh nevermind haha, i didnt know it was rusted.

when rallispec built my motor they dipped everything in there ridiculous part cleaner machine and everything came out looking brand new. my heads, my case, everything.

I just need something that'll take rust off the block. I would think a sand blasting will do it? Then i'm not sure if i want to clear coat it or not, becaus eit won't rust since it'll be in a house.

ok so your not using this motor for anything other then a table right? If so I'll do it for you I'm going to be sandblasting my shell within a week or so, so if you get the block to me I can sandblast it when I do my car. I live right outside of coatesville

STiGuy06 · 12-04-2009, 04:31 PM

yeah just using it for a table for my sport den.

B rad · 12-04-2009, 04:34 PM

yea I'll do it lemme know

STiGuy06 · 12-04-2009, 04:39 PM

pm me with the address...i might not have it torn down by then, but i'll try

STiGuy06 · 12-04-2009, 04:50 PM

Ah mannnnnn, thanks but i can't drive almost 2 hours away.

STiGuy06 · 12-05-2009, 06:52 PM

bumping it back up because it'll prolly be done in a month

Spocknasty · 12-05-2009, 10:28 PM

Do you have an air compressor? http://www.amazon.com/Spot-Shot-Air-...0066479&sr=1-6

STiGuy06 · 12-05-2009, 10:40 PM

yes i do

Khellen · 12-05-2009, 11:24 PM

Iniel is a really reasonable guy. He has a shop in stroudsburg with a really nice sandblasting cabinet. Drive by with your STI and I'm sure he'll hook you up.

STiGuy06 · 12-06-2009, 12:12 AM

Will, you never answered my pm about the logo for a sandblasting if you have it at your shop....

Willdue · 12-06-2009, 12:13 AM

i dont have it at my shop yet, as we havent moved everything over. But i may still get time to do it

STiGuy06 · 12-06-2009, 10:34 AM

do you also have a hot tank? I'm not sure which method i should do. Hot Tank or Sand Blast. I want the block to look brand new again.
