slick Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Is there really a good way to go about this? I got my parts in finally for the 96-96 intake swap, but they are fairly dirty. Before I take up patgizz's offer to come over to his place to use the sandblaster, I wanted to try to get them somewhat cleaned up here. Is it safe to put them in a tub of water and some sort of cleanins solution? If so, what type of cleaner can I put in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 What's on them? Carbon build up or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 To me, it looks as if the car was involved in some sort of engine fire. It does have some build up on it, but nothing too awful bad. They are just mainly dirty, and I'm looking for an efficient way to clean them up. EDIT: Some of it also seems as if it's paint too, which I know will come off in the sandblaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Well, after taking some simple green and a wire brush to one of the parts, it appears as if they were painted black :? So, I guess I'll get them all cleaned up somewhate before I head off to get them sandblasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 you could give laquer thinner a shot that seems to work prety well, acidtone is prety good stuff too. and aircraft stripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 aircraft stripper. Acetone and Aircraft paint stripper work wonders. Just don't breathe too deeply around them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Regal Limited Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Try using a steam cleaner or pressure washer, just seal off any ports and openings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 use some all purpose cleaner...that usually works good for me. if it has any stickers or sticky shit on it use some goo gone...it works wonders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
