Clean Engine time

[GrahamB]

Finally pulled the V8 out of my Soarer with a run bearing so rebuild time. What ideas do you all have regarding bring up the aluminium to look shiney and new again??

Steam cleaner has always worked well for me. I have always soaked with degreaser (mainy SimpleGreen) and then used an industrial steam cleaner and it usually works wonders.

After you have cleaned the engine give it a spray with some silicone oil to protect it.

try a mag or alloy cleaner - start with a really good degreaser and a stiff brush and them a caustic mag or aloy cleaner - they come up really good - cheers
