Head and Block cleaning
Wednesday, July 04, 2007 4:17 PM
what should i use to clean my head and block inside and out? There is alot of tough grime all over the block and head. I just want to make sure that when i put the motor together there is nothing stopping the motor from performing like new.

I use oven cleaner look at it like this what is oven cleaner for removing baked on grease and what is on our car's engines....baked on grease works great every time i use it but don't get it on paint though it removes EVERYTHING!

I used to think to this too, but i saw that it is written on the bottle, not use it on aluminum so i am not sure this idea is so good after all.

I used spray nine and elbow grease on the outside of my engine, but I don't know about using that on the inside...

when i was younger i remember seeing my dad putting a head in diesel fuel and letting it soak for a day or two. Dont remember if the results were that great but maybe worth a try.

doing it as cheap as possible means either you just don't do it or you end up doing it again in a short amount of time, and it always costs more to do something the second time right than if you just did the right thing the first time.
