KatoKid Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Have to give this guy a plug..... Woodys Engine Services Greg an Louise Wood. (03) 9597 0387 Unit 12/ 20 George street Sandringham 3191 hydrolblast@iinet.net.au I had been looking at alternatives for cleaning/restoring the cast aluminium sump and accessory brackets on my M3 engine as they were badly corroded from the salted roads in the UK. Research says that hydroblasting is the way to go to get an as new finish. I was going to go to a guy in Pakenham http://www.southernhydrablasting.com.au/ but Peter Mc recommended Woodys. Im blown away by the quailty of the finish, it actually looks better than new, nearly fake its that good. Hyrdroblasting is like glass bead blasting but using water rather than air. Cost is $1.00 per minute, both items ended up costing $150. Not cheap but I think well worth it for something that looked terrible before. On the right is my old S50B32 sump for comparison.....the clean one was actually even worse beforehand. The oil filter housing/accessory bracket was just as bad.
