  UPDATED!!!!!cleaning write up 56K beware TONS OF PICS!!!!!« » Reply  Edit


well i brought a motor for the local junk yard for $300 and thought it would be great for a 500-650hp DD, circuit track, and occasional strip car so stay tuned for that thread. Now this is a write up of how to clean parts.

first a little before an after shots


before

after

rocker arms




intake ports after cleaning





the head itself which will be cleaned in my little bath


the supplies


1. get a 18 gallon or more container
2. fill the container with a 3 parts cleaner to 2 parts DISTILLED water solution. ( in the pic above i only used 3 gallon of cleaner and 2 gallons of water haha )
3. allow parts to sit in solution for NO longer than 45min. i produced the results above with only 15-30min. of soaking time
4. while parts are in solution scrub thoroughly
5. after parts are to your liking dry as best you can
6. give most parts a LIGHT coat of WD-40 to prevent rust ( i didnt do this on the pics above but it works better when you do )

now you may be wondering what is the gunk motor flush for ? well its to pre soak really hard to clean parts that have oil burned on or other containminants. after you do that then complete steps 1-6 hope you guys enjoyed the write up and pics OH BTW i will be doing the WHOLE cylinder head once i get the sensors off so keep checking for updates

I did a SOHC valve cover awhile back doing basically the same thing. The valve cover was pretty nasty, but it cleaned it all up. I did extra work on it too and made it look better than it had when it even came off the car.

Excellent, need to try that. My head is freakin nasty, hot tanked it twice and used the aqueous cleaner but with cold water and it suck balls. Hot tank it at school, sometimes the hot water works and sometime it doesn't; I can't say much cuz it's free, but definately trying this method.

My machine shop charges me 10.00 to soak a head and misc parts in brake cleaner solution overnight and comes out around 99% clean.

Better than heads here.

But no doubt for smaller parts and such this looks like a good method. I got my part washer for 20.00 from a local guy and filled it with 1 part heavy duty degreaser and 1 part water.
For engine it says to use 1:4 mix. Whoops, I ran out of room for the water. Anyway I put some pistons in it for about an hour and they came out all grey and the coating was completely eaten away.
These were spares so no loss but I say this because:

You need to be careful what parts you put into what chemicals. Use spare parts first sometimes especially like cams and such that are expensive to replace.

Good find though for DIY budget builder.
