Might be more expensive, but if you did a lot of this, it's probably a lot less time than comparable work with a glass bead or walnut blaster where you have to remove all the abrasive blasting media after stripping.
This cleaning method is used to remove household mold also. Maybe not the cheapest way to clean things but it is not polluting like brake cleaner, kerosine or diesel fuel or the regular parts cleaning solvent.
It expensive to use, does not clean oil passages deep inside the engine. It definitely a great tool to have for aviation and aerospace applications were water cannot be used under any circumstances. If dry ice was cheap I would like to have one in my garage.
The planes can fly through monsoon because they're designed to... when they're fully assembled. When I worked on C-130s in corrosion control, in the late 70s, we use water to wash off parts after they came out of a big hot tank That was affectionately called "the boiling volcano" I'm only referring to certain applications when water cannot be used, my chief concern about this wonderful dry ice machine its cost.
Interesting method however given the cost and complexity - I would rather just use a chemical cleaner with a pressure sprayer. I can appreciate that with CO2 there would be no water run-off however does this matter for cleaning engine parts outside?
I'm a certified mechanic. This only makeshift look good. You can have a machine shop. Give it an acid bath. This will clean it like this inside and out.
Transmission case and cylinder head..but where's the engine block...? Questions are asked about the cost..? Well...anything that really works well....won't be cheap...
That machine with the aftercooler = $40K! Extremely large amounts of air is pushing small amounts of CO2. No danger of suffocation!LOL! Wonderful for grease cleaning where detergents, water or abrasives cant be used. Great for electric motors and machine shop equipment! Everything blasted away does blow everywere and in a sense just relocates the mess. I use one for a living.
I'm wondering what kind of 3-cylinder vehicle this is from. As Johnathan Schomer guessed, is it from a Geo Metro? And how about the transaxle housing? Metro, too? Thanks - AMAZING stuff! And remember, dry ice leaves NOTHING behind. It doesn't melt, like water does. It SUBLIMATES; that is, goes directly from solid back to gas. There's no liquid state in between.
+Els we Be D'OH! Occam's Razor in action: The simplest answer is probably the correct one. I hadn't considered that, obviously, so I defer to your practical wisdom. Thank you.
+Els we Be Wow - That's thorough! Well, the combustion chambers look rather sophisticated, so I'd bet on you being right about that... and it is an aluminium head, as well. Maybe too exotic for the likes of a Geo Metro? ;-)
No. Unless you use sufficient CO2(Dry Ice) to eliminate more or less all of the oxygen in your garage, which would be a lot. CO(or carbon monoxide) will kill you by eliminating your blood's ability to oxygenate your bloodstream. Carbon Dioxide would only kill you because you were breathing it instead of oxygen.
Interesting video but you could save some money by first washing the parts with hot water and Dawn dish washing liquid, a scrub brush, and a tooth brush.
digitalblasphemy1100 I've done it many times. Give the engine a quick brush and rinse. Then pretty it up with the dry ice. Using dry ice on historic vehicles is great because it protects the original surface textures of cast alloy parts.
John Ferguson My four wheeler engine laughs at any kind of cleaner you can throw at it except harsh strippers. Even with comet it takes an hour just for the side of the crank case. I gave up. I heard of wheel cleaners but they etch the aluminum so I might be using some kind of blasting. Dawn dishwashing liquid did nothing at all.
+Splinter Vulpes And immediately vaccuums out the shells. The walnut shells are hard/sharp enough to knock out carbon deposits on the backs of valves of direct injection engines but don't den't the metal. Any bits that may accidently enter a cylinder are burnt out in the combustion with no harm to the engine. For $1600, it matches the cleaning power of this $5000 ice machine.
I doubt he's buying dry ice for this. It's an adaptor for a CO2 bottle that MAKES the dry ice from fast expansion, then uses the rest of the CO2 vapor to propel it down the nozzle. Pretty ingenious actually... no oils or solvent clean up afterwards. :)
The cleaner is definitely using purchased dry ice. the machine takes rice size peaces of dry ice I see techs everyday when I go pick my ice up for my ice cream business.
Uh, where do you think that CO2 came from, genius? I am very much in to keeping our environment safe from human nonsense. I grew up in a smog-riddled city in the 1970s. I can actually SEE the differences we have made over the years. But what you said there was just gross stupidity.
Wow- that was cool. If I hadn't read the title- it just appears as if you're steam cleaning. That was amazing. Thank you.
Leaves no damaging glass or sand either! Brilliant!
Thank you,
Colin

Will the low temperature impact the housing material rigidity?
that's really effective and hardly any mess. I wonder if the machine is custom made.
Holy cow this is in Malaysia. Malaysian's are quite advance.
Being its just grease and grime, Wouldent a pressure washer work just as well?

i'm pretty sure that's an transmission but excellent video indeed!
Best way to clean engine blocks without having to tape anything off, you can leave everything on and just blast it!
Where does the dirt end up? Can this be done on an assembled engine, etc.?
does it do better than hot pressure washing?

is it ok for an ev car?
how expensive is it?
how much does it cost to have this done?
How much is the Price of this machine , and should we fill it with slid CO2 each time we will use it , if yes how much the CO2 will cost us ?
nice way to asphyxiate yourself but it looks like it does a hell of a job
Transmission case and cylinder head..but where's the engine block...? Questions are asked about the cost..? Well...anything that really works well....won't be cheap...
hmmm, I don't see an engine block
it's an inline three cylinder
good job keep up the good work..
Was not enough to remove gasket marks

+daveogarf considered that it might be off a v6?
+Els we Be D'OH! Occam's Razor in action: The simplest answer is probably the correct one. I hadn't considered that, obviously, so I defer to your practical wisdom. Thank you.
Yea and I searched for a while to figure out which motor it is off of. I really think it might be a 2.7 or 2.8 Audi v6?
+Els we Be Wow - That's thorough! Well, the combustion chambers look rather sophisticated, so I'd bet on you being right about that... and it is an aluminium head, as well. Maybe too exotic for the likes of a Geo Metro? ;-)
daveogarf😀This is a DAIHATSU MIRA 660cc engine and transmission.Try and Google it.
My car need this!

I do this to grow-op house in Toronto.
That's like using the erase tool in photo editor!
holly mother of god it looks just like NEW!!!
Weed need more info about this!

+John Ferguson uh no

nice
google Continetal Carbonic, company I work for. the machine is about $10,000 but we rent them, and for 500 lbs of blasting its about $100ish dollars.
This is probably better than what BMW does and sprays walnuts straight into your engine. Literal Walnuts. I sh*t you not.
walnut shells to be exact.

...That's a Transmission...
Joseph Stalin you mean aluminum(III) oxide?
geo metro head?
the dirt must vaporize then everyone breaths it.
Dry ice blasting is the way to go, too bad the machine and compressor are too exspensive for the average restorer.
lold when the title says engine block, and hes doing everything but.
Look expensive. Dry ice too expensive

This shit is fucking amazing
Paint that crap with a thick solution of liquid soap and let it sit overnight.....then pressure wash.
@rattan77 its american though
Türkiye de sektör lideriyiz.
I wants!
Вот так, нам загоняют контрактные помойки по "20000км" пробега
Description is wrong. It's a fucking transmission and a cylinder head. Not an engine block.
Do this outside or you could find yourself dead on the floor of your garage.

Check that machine in the link above, doesn't use any electricity! and it's low cost!
2 cool
Talking about CO2 emissions.....
Nox665 So it is, life moves on.
Uh, where do you think that CO2 came from, genius? I am very much in to keeping our environment safe from human nonsense. I grew up in a smog-riddled city in the 1970s. I can actually SEE the differences we have made over the years. But what you said there was just gross stupidity.
You can't tell he was joking?
Those co2 pellets were just gas in the atmosphere recently. No co2 produced from scratch. Much less contamination and energy consumption is a plus
Hope you're joking.
Shut up and take my money!
Dry ice is cheap the machine is not.
Drop it in 5 gallons of carb cleaner and come back tomorrow, easier cleaner. But not as cool. :)
