My wife gets pretty upset when stuff comes up missing from the kitchen. But goes though the roof when she catches me using the dishwasher to clean parts.

Hows that work for you ? We have to stop the dry cycle on Steel or it flash rusts, and been using either purple power or simple green in a big concentration......

Anything to stop the flash rusting ? Ive been thinking of trying and adding a cup of WD40 liquid in the dry cycle.

Works great on bead blasted alloy though

Kenmore portable off Cragislist , cheap ($20) it leaks a little, but its nice because I move it outside and throw a hose on it....let it leak away (maybe 2 or 3 cups per load)

Love to know how to (other than stopping the dry cycle) stop the flash rusting....

This is no baloney, several years ago, I was setting up another 12 bolt for one of the Chevelles, and I had a brand new Richmond ring and pinion, and a brand new spool.Problem was, the interference fit between the ID of the ring gear and the OD of the spool was a bit too snug to get it started .The thought occured to me to put the ring gear in the dishwasher with the rest of the dishes and silverware, and the spool in the freezer. Tony Janes came by and we went to Maria's Mexican Food in Glendora for lunch, and when we got back, the whole batch was done, so I took the steaming hot ring gear out of the dishwasher, and the spool from the freezer had frost on it. Setting it on the bench, the ring gear slid into place perfectly,and all 12 bolts started finger tight, so I got the torque wrench and pulled them all down. The pinion and flange and other stuff was done, so it was no problem to set the spool and ring gear combo in the housing, shim it, set backlash, and install the caps , and that thing was ready. Since it was a new gearset, there was no residual 90 weight odor to deal with(not cool on the rest of the dishes),and the thermal process of doing this worked pretty well.Great to have a working wife who wasn't home to see this.I imagine something like a 9 inch center section in the dishwasher could be controversial.
