just wondering if there is anything around the house that you could use to clean parts, or would this not work?
as my cam covers, sump and inlet manifold are covered in gunk and would like to clean them up before i put my engine back together.

Petrol, white spirit, solvent degreaser, fairy liquid
petrol/parrafin etc usually do a good job. pretty messy job though!
5 litres of jizer is about £10, stick some in a squirty bottle and get a 2 inch paintbrush to work it all in
Parts washer at your local machine shophave some machining done at Chesman in Coventry and wash all your parts for free
I use petrol and a brush, scewdriver
cheers for the info guys
use the dish washer if you can't be arsed with that brushing malarky!
Then wait for the wife/gf/mother (delete as appropriate) to cut yer balls off.Originally Posted by tommyb
cillit bang or cif are actually quite good although "woman" tend to complain like fcuk when they go to use it and it's a/not there or b/bottle covered in oily residue seem to find the latter worse tho lol
Just give it to the wife and tell her that if she gets it clean enough you'll give her a good seeing-to tonight for her trouble.
seriously, if you can't get any proper workshop degreaser or the wife to sort it then any household degreaser type cleaner like cillit bang, cif or fairy will do the job with a bit of work, some hot water and a stiff brush
or give it to the wife to clean and go give the bit on the side a damn good seeing to, since wife is likely to be crabit and not wanting a seeing to, due to said cleaning duties lol
i got my mrs to clean something when i was grinding my valves in but that should be reserved for the members area
well get it right up you's lol cause my mrs fcuked off at weekend because she reckoned i spent more time fiddling below the bonnet of mys13 than i did with her! and her point is?

Parafinand the wifes dish washer for shiny aluminium bits.
petrol is good... just remember to use a mask or after some time you'll get stoned lolololololol
use the dishwasher. I´ve seen people putting in almost a complete engine: head, cilinder block pistons and rods.....the parts came out clean and shiny and with a fresh lemon smell
I just use Asda Smart Price white spirit. Does the job well, costs nowt.
