Can I just take a pressure washer to these bastard plates/housings?

I'm getting more than a little frustrated trying to clean all the years of dirt and grime off of them.

 

Yes, but make sure you dry them off when your done. And by dry, I mean dry....everywhere. Otherwise they will rust and become unusable.

 

Thanks for the advice, will follow it.

 

did you try using a copper brush?? thats what i used and it seemed to get it off pretty simple! you can go to pineappleracing.com and they will have a link that i think its rotaryrebuild something like that and that site will show you how to proporally clean your rotors and i just used the same method with everyt thing else that had all the scum on it

 

Question: I feel stupid for asking this, but how do you remove the oil filler neck on the center iron on a N/A?


Myself and a friend have worn the bristles down (!!!!) on 3 copper brushes so far we've been at it so long. This includes using mineral spirits in a parts washer.

 

wow try degreaser also that helps it come off a bit! lol and for the oil filler neck search! just put oil filler neck removal and im sure there is something on it if not i will send you a copy of a link that shows you how. im at school right now so i cant at the moment

 

Again www.rebuildingrotaryengines.com

The filler neck should just come out with some tapping with a plasic hammer or something not too hard.

 

Thanks, just needed to verify it was a press fit.
