"Hydro dipped"...  ??

As an old fashioned engineer, I translate that as giving it a wash...

Swallow sprays in Windsor does hydrodipping as well, but can't speak from first hand experience.

Forgot to say on the phone Yozzer. Any short cuts on a engine build will bite you back. Re-place the stopper in the oil pump as std. With new rings you have to cross hatch the bores or you will have a nice polished effect.

It's why I'm opting to have one made here.  Customs fees and duty were killer!
