So I pulled the motor and tranny out from the car, and this stuff is just covered in gunk! How do I clean this stuff off? Thanks I plan on reprinting the tranny and motor so I wanna be able to take this stuff off and make it nice and clean
Do you have a girlfriend? Wife? Ask them to clean it up for you....
If you have one (or more) of each, have a contest to see which one can clean it better. Then spend more time with that one....
In the good ol days we would take them to the car wash. Their high pressure sprayer would get'er done. According to EPA we aren't supposed to do this at home if the run off can go to ground water, and better not get caught at the car wash.
I use a screw driver and compressed air to break up and remove the majority, then oven cleaner, then high pressure rinse, then brake parts aerosol, then paint.
Wire brush, gasket scraper, screwdriver, elbow grease. Pressure washer. Repeat until clean....
This stuff is incredible. My buddy turned me onto it when we did the engine in my car. Spray it on, let it sit for a minute or two and blast it off w/ a pressure washer. It does wonders.
The local coin car washes have small water treatment tanks that separate oil from the water. There are signs that allow for engine degreasing. I have used them to degrease engines and transmissions.
I think you are on to something there :toothy10:
