Taken the cylinder head off today as it needs a new gasket but before i put it back on i would like to give it a good clean.
Whats the best way of cleaning the head at home? I've got a 160bar pressure washer to help if thats a good thing to use?

Surely if you've got the head off you are going to want it skimmed anyway, and whenever u get a skim done they usually clean the head in a detergent anyway, so no need
What can i say......your obviously a VERY VERY BRAVE MAN
