Re: Cleaning

The quarter car wash is your friend. Spray the head down with Simple Green or your favorite degreaser and run some bottle brushes through all the openings and pressure wash it.
Blow it dry ASAP and spray it down with WD-40 to retard corrosion and reassemble.

Quarter? More like a buck. But, yes, I did that in two or three stages. Started with old fashioned Easy Off oven cleaner and a wash. ground out more carbon. Washed again. Ported, and washed again. The wash guy gave me a smile, and other customers wondered why I waited just to pull my car all the way through the stall.

Well, finally got the old girl back on the road today. She needs a little tuning...running rich at idle. But off idle she's smooth, and with the new exhaust, she's got a little growl!
