Hot tanking vs Baking

[Stephan Sochoux <sochoux@yahoo.com>]

Howdy,

I called some shops to get quotes on getting the block
cleaned and the first shop tells me they bake and do
an acid dip, that hot tanking is not friendly for the
environment and that it is "old". The second shop hot
tanks and tells me that baking heats up the parts too
much. Hmm.. either way produces clean parts but which
is the preferred way ?

Also, should the cylinders be honed before or after ?

Thanks-
