Hi all,
I was wondering what the best way is to clean up a old and dirty engine. Ideally i'd like to do this without disassembling the engine to avoid all the disassembly/reassembly time. I've seen the threads on the different cleaners that people use which makes sense and looks pretty easy to do. But is that all that needs to happen? My gut keeps telling me i need to sandblast or use a soda blaster to clean off the oxide but i'd really hate to get that crap inside the engine.
How did you clean up the fins and exterior of your old oxidized and grimy aluminum engine?
Thanks!
Jeff
