Curious. All seem to be ali blocks and heads and why strip and clean them before smashing them.

Probably faulty castings even these days the reject rate can get quite high

I didn't see any Pinto blocks in there......

[rob iles]

don't mix heavy steel ..pinto's

with lightweight ally   durabang

its easier to sell to the scrapman  

[davidgh]

Alumin(i)um is worth much more per ton than steel  --  although, admittedly, you only get three Pinto blocks to the ton.

Seemed to be a lot of scrap alloy straight six blocks there! Wonder where they come from?

Ive been to the Factory (Farm) in Wales where a certain large American company send there scrap blocks for rework!

I was trying to suggest that a Pinto block would clog the machine... never mind

[salexander]

I think there's something strangely addictive about watching the machine effortlessly chewing chunks out of the scrap cylinder heads

Needs to be a bit more powerful in my humble opinion!

Containimation. The engines are removed from the scrap car, stripped down to the different material types, washed and shredded.

The aluminium chips that result from that shredder will be melted down into ingots and bought by foundries to cast into another engine block, or some such part.
