Question for the APs and AP/IAs

I bet those companies don't do those inspections without cleaning the parts themselves, so why would you clean them, only for them to do it again?

Exactly.
I guess Glen can't grasp that concept.

That's why I send it out dirty, they clean it prior to the inspection process. Why should I clean it, when they'll clean it too? I can check it to see if it is worth the shipping, when I can visually see it is bent, or undersized.

Anyone that doesn't clean before inspecting, shouldn't be inspecting, period.

Tell everyone the difference between the cleanliness requirements of the two methods.

There's one huge difference when it come to cleanliness requirements between UT and MT inspection. I'm sure your vendor is using a wet horizontal unit for mag particle, you want those parts extremely clean as to not contaminate the fluid bath. There are no concerns like that with ultrasonics.

Tom's response will be: "Exactly."

LOL

It does.. because it is worth it. :) price a dip tank and the chemicals and the has-mat permits for the operation of it, plus the disposal if the debris.

I send the cranks and gears to Aircraft speciality, I normally buy a new cam, lifters, and hydraulic units, and the case goes to crankcase services. The common hardware, rubber parts and gaskets are of course new.
