Best way/product to clean heads?

[BP_Z28]

Picked up my 243's last night. Thanks Steve!

Whats the best product over the shelf that I can use to clean them up? Dont want to damage anything.

i'm wondering the same thing. i'm giving my heads to anthony to put in his parts washer at work. hopefully that does it. i'll let you know how they turn out.

Simple Green works pretty good...

[BP_Z28]

So what just use a terry towel or a scotch brite and scrub away with simple green?

Or submerse the head in a bucket with simple green and let it soak for a day or so?

[OVRKILL]

depends how bad they are...got pics?

i've used mineral spirits too if they're really nasty. wire brushes, old tooth brushes, whatever it takes...

I put the valves in with the springs, turned the head upside down with old plugs in them, and poured fuel injector cleaner into the chambers. Let them sit for a few days and then used a toothbrush. Worked ok.

funny thing that works amazing is purple power mixed with drive way cleaner, i tried it out at work just messing around with some heads that has easily 80+k and they look brand new i can even get some pics its pretty crazy.

the foaming engine degreaser didnt do anything

I've had good luck with lacquer thinner and a bristle brush. Also can use aluminum mag wheel cleaner to etch the casting to make it look almost new.
