engine machine shop question

[steveo3002]

say if I had a skanky old clyinder head ..can I take it to a machine shop or somewhere and have em dip it so it comes up like new again?

what do I ask for and what would it cost roughly?

Yes, but you could also soak it in a big tub of cheap vinegar.
Theres a thread on here somewhere about it - looked cool and would be cheaper too.
You might get a craving for chips everytime you drove the car though :-)

vinegar corrodes stuff too...more for derusting

this is a alloy head ..just want 100 yrs of burnt on oil taken off
