preping a motor for paint

[mr.zxr]

does anyone have any tips for removing grime from the motor. i've spent forever on it with degreaser but 15 yrs worth of road grime is hard to beat. i'm struggling to get the oil and crap from the little nooks and crannys.

I use a tooth brush when I do mine and sometimes I use carby cleaner aswell

Tooth brush & heaps of cans of that cheap engine de-greaser that u get from super cheap!

Send it to Rod and let him do it. Fucker is bored shitless at home and he needs the exercise.

oven cleaner on the tuff stuff, just be sure to rinse it well & then go over it with wax & grease remover.

What about motors that are already painted?

Only do this if you plan to paint the engine as the caustic in the oven cleaner will discolour the aluminium.
