Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
An ultrasonic cleaner works really good for us. We do several sets of LS and LT heads every day.

Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
Does anyone have a contact for a shop with a Ultrasonic cleaner in the Phoenix area?
These heads are 22x12x8 inches Thanks, Brad |

Something no one has mentioned.. You can put them in the dishwasher if you are single or brave or stupid LOL
We have ran Cascade in our jet spray(hot tank) in a pinch.. 5 boxes to 80 gallons of water, works great. I'm sure you could probably mix in hot water and scrub heads with it Mike Taylor 3601 |

Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
I switched over a blast cabinet to Baking soda and its the best. Does a great job on carbs also then just wash i hot water and it all dissolves. You don't have to worry about any media hiding and coming loose and crashing an engine.

A big thanks to everyone that offered a workable solution!

Re: Cleaning an aluminum head
Soak in a mix of oxy-clean and water, softens and loosens that carbon in a few hours. Good trick. Did not discolor the aluminum at all.
Wife saw me cleaning the ring grooves on used pistons and recommended it. |
