Cleaning an Engine

[Acushla]

Doesn't everyone do that? Heating new bearings in cooking oil in the old fry pan on the kichen hob is the recognised way to expand them. Works a treat but be quick, you don't have to show them whats in the pan!

My engine is just covered with thick layer of fine sawdust......should be able to get done with a wipe down.

The household product "Kaboom" (with "Oxyclean") works pretty well, if you can get it there. Some fumes to deal with.

Rags guided by screwdriver tip to reach some of the tight places...

Brake cleaner spray works great for cleaning engines. Drip absorbents under. A bit at the time so you aren't breathing the stuff. Evaporates quickly. No residue.
