Whats the best stuff to clean all my engine components its all covered in oil and shite

 

Brake cleaner or vinegar mate

 

I am stripping the lump down and want the whole lot nice and clean for a rebuild

 

the dishwasher

 

The block and head wont fit in it

 

take it to a local engineering shop they will have a proper parts washer and will properly only charge you a few quid to use it...

 

I've been using the one at work, lol. Got the head in but didn't fancy trying the block.

 

Gonna give it a go then

 

SBP Degreaser, don't get it on your watch though

 

Diesel.

Steve

 

trafic film remover.

thats what we use at work

 

yep, ive got cans of red just for this.

 

you know it makes sense

 

Where can I get red diesel from

 

any medium sized building site. ask for the head labourer and bung him a fiver for a 25litre jerry can full.

 

Out the farmers tractor

Steve

 

I do wet media blasting at work mate, I see your not a million miles away from me, so if you want any bits blasting give me a shout - it'll bring them up like new

 

Lol

 

Cool can you do my block and ancilleries

 

I personally wouldn't do the block, the machine uses plastic sand and soapy water at 7bar of pressure, the oil ways will fill with the plastic media, although it should all wash out I wouldn't want to risk it as just leaving a few grains behind can write off an engine. It has happened in the past!!


But as for other bits such as pulleys, brackets, engine mounts, cam cover etc then no problem at all

Jizer. proper stuff.

 

Rich I will sort it out then and let you know i want doing

 

agreed ... with a nice firm brissled brush (not a wire one)

 

Seriously where can I buy red diesel

 

Just buy Jizer.
