Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
I know this is an older thread but...
Is bead blasting or soda blasting within the rules for stock? It's not SAND blasting after all. Brad |
Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
I blast them with Walnut Shells or Baking Soda. Just make sure there is no oil on them, Castrol Super Clean and a garden hose hooked to your hot water tank makes de-greasing easy before blasting. Lots of times you don?t have to blast after Super Clean is used with a brass wire brush. MB

Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
Glass beading works well if all oil is removed first.

Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
I have been told that GM Top Engine Cleaner is an excellent carbon cleaner. Especially tho older stuff in the red white and black can (#1050002). So much so that the firearms guys use it to clean up carbon fouled, neglected guns.
I have some here, but I have yet to try it out. And I see it on ebay as well. |
Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
You can use Hoppe's #9 gun bore cleaner. You can get it a Walmart in the hunting section for a few bucks.
Ive used it to clean carbon off piston tops with a fine scotchbrite pad and it works great. |
Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
It must be Tuesday. Motor mouth out here tossing around some pretty wild and serious accusations, that I would bet any amount of money, he could not actually back up.
When people (social media haters specifically who must really have terrible lives for whatever reason), aimlessly just throw out garbage in print, they should really think first before clicking the send button. It wasn't enough already that an NHRA Racer got banned recently from using their inked (and spent already social media sponsorship $$$), due to wild accusations that may or may not even have a single thread of truth to them (sure, could be or not with Only Fans, as much of it appears to be paid subscriber adult content...I don't know personally, but I also hear that some have channels there because they like to cook BBQ, work on/show cars, and others who just flat got tired of giving their hard work & internet content away for free on YouTube and maybe they are actually tired of getting demonetized for their music or content choices. Who knows, the result was just sad to hear about for that specific racer. Just saying as adults let's deal with facts, not wild accusations and supposition. Lastly do not judge, lest ye be judged. Hot Button pusher. (See how easy that is...I was talking about your Trans brake). Easy Off Oven Cleaner and a soft brush, or Chemtool Carb Cleaner both have my vote. |
Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
and again you'd be WRONG! Talk about what you know not what you think you know!!
