In here? Wait till she's gone out first....



dishwasher

mate i thort of that but my head would be on a block"my block"probally plus it is very heavy

gunk is good

Are you planning to paint it or somthing? Steel block?

Use jizer/gunk for everything i ever degrease outside of carbs/brakes.
- Spray on, work with paintbrush, rinse with water.

Although the CVH block is steel, so like the chassis, i dont really consider the oil to harm it more do it good!


Daniel

as said before, the dishwasher does work very well as long as you don't get caught.... my zetec block came out a treat!



Tom

pinto cast iron

Good ol' paraffin and lots of old paint brushes works for me.

I normally go for a bottle of white spirit...





Oh - for cleaning engines? White spirit and a cheap paintbrush with half the bristles cut off the length. The "5 for £1" ones from the local pound shop - and can probably get the white spirit from there too. Total cost = £2..

thanks all ,got a load of white spirt,job done
jamie

hot water with full biological powder works well too

edit to think
hmmm how about the dishwasher with bio washing powder, got to be a winner

almost worth buying an "outdoors dishwasher for a £10er
