Message: [QUOTE="SkySki Jason, post: 184963, member: 1118"] If it's really nasty, I'll use diesel and a brush to clean the deepest stuff - but a 0* tip on p-washer will clean about anything. Purple-power to degrease and a final wipe-down with solvent (MEK, lacquer thinner, etc) after the water dries. The 500* 'engine paint' is fine for everything but the exhaust side of the heads - that needs the VHT 2000* stuff (or Turbo-X). Also, you might consider ceramic-coating the exhaust manifolds, up-pipes and turbo exhaust housing with Turbo-X (only blue or black): [url]http://www.techlinecoatingswebstore.com/Exhaust_Coatings-Exhaust_Coating_Turbo_X_Blue_1.html[/url] Here's how my junk turned out: [ATTACH=full]74055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74056[/ATTACH] Turns out 'polishing' the spider, etc was a bad idea. Once the coating, anodizing, whatever is on there from factory is removed - the aluminum will corrode... Either clean and shine without abrasives, or paint these parts. :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
