Load of bullshit as they probably have a hot wash that they can put it in while they do another job, then quick 2min blowing excess water etc out. Easy enuf job.

would not even touch it until they had cleaned it themselves and put in writing they had done it, last thing you need is to do it yourself or miss a bit and get an engine failure and they deny any knowledge or pass the blame.

either way make sure you cover yourself.

When ever I get any machining work done on a block or head I never get it cleaned. Bar acid dipping some times.
Do it myself atleast then I know it's properly clean.
