Gunk de-grease stuff is quite good, comes in an orange tin from halfords.



Or use a selection of wire brush drill bits for engines if youre stripping it all off to re-paint it.

I men't the internal parts like getting all the built up crud and lacquer off the inside of the cylinder head when i take it off to fit new stem seals in the winter?

Have used paraffin in the past or other stuff left lying around in the lock up but some ones been helpfull and had a clear up so there's nout about now.

Lol I said cheap! Carb/injector cleaner is great stuff but expensive.

might have to get on to the local chippy or whole sale to get a few pints of vinegar then :)

Any other acid based chemicals that are good?

can get my hands on hydrocloric acid, maybe a little strong lol

Haha yeah hydrocloric acid would eat the aluminium i suspect.

I have some traffic film remover so might soak it in that, i think my name my get cursed a little if i put a cylinder head in the dishwasher but it is a thought....hmmm.
