Needs to be a prop for an upcoming horror movie......

dirty dirty girl

 

so how did it clean up?

 

Ya we wanna see after pics.

That does look pritty nasty though...

 

I haven't cleaned it up yet, I haven't had too much time and I have no money to go get the simple green... I'll update when i actually get stuff done

 

looks like it was pulled from the ocean

 

dammm, I wish my engine looked like that, no fair.

 

DON'T USE SIMPLE GREEN!!!!!

Keep in mind, this stuff is partly aluminum. Simple Green + Aluminum = BAD ****.

Mineral Spirits is cheaper, safer on aluminum, and you can fill tubs with it to soak this stuff. That's what they recommend you use when doing an OMP rebuild. They say that Simple Green pits the aluminum and causes problems. I know when I did my OMP rebuild, soaking it in Mineral Spirits (a type of paint thinner found in the paint isle) for an hour did wonders.

So go forth, get thee 8L of Mineral Spirits, fill a tub and have fun
