So I have my engine apart, and I'm thinking about taking the cases and the cylinder head to the local do it yourself car wash and power washing them to get most of the dirt and grime off.. Is there any reason this would be a bad idea? Is there something I'm not thinking of that could be damaging to the parts if I do this?
Youll be fine,
But in my experience that doesnt do much (yes ive done it)
Bring a bunch of simple green and a scrub brush if you want to remove anything oily.
Thank... Yeah, I was planning on bringing some Simple Green as well as some Engine De-greaser that I have... I am building the bike in front of my car in my garage, so I don't have access to a water hose or a yard, so that's the reason for going to the car wash to get rid of some of the build up mud and grime... but I will take the simple green to get some of the stuff loose and hit it with some scotch pads...
Just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing that could do damage...
Thanks mydly.... Yeah, I don't think I would have attempted this if the engine was in the frame... I had to pull the entire engine apart, because the pistons were frozen in and I am getting the cylinders bored this weekend... so figured I would get the rest of the motor cleaned and ready to go...
And yeah Sonic, I've thought about that... hahah... I am taking a rubbermaid container with me that I will place it in and spray it down in there I think
