Engine cleaning

Cleaning – the first step in engine performance

At PLR Performance Engines we have invested a lot of money into our engine cleaning facilities.  Using off the shelf and custom ultrasonic cleaning tanks we strip all the grease, dirt and build up from your engine.  This is essential before inspecting and testing as defects can be hidden under dirt and only show up when the engine is back in your vehicle.  After cleaning we can inspect every seal, weld and surface for defects so you are not wasting your money on unnecessary machining.  We provide cleaning as a standalone service or as part of our engine machining services so you can have an engine stripped and cleaned then store it for machining at a later date.

We use an Apollo hot tank system, wet bead blaster for cast iron heads and our custom ultrasonic tank for alloy heads.  These are the safest and fastest way to clean engine components, which saves you time and money with no risk to your engine.
