Hi, All;
I've recently obtained an engine to be overhauled for installation into my next airplane project.
What have you found to be the best cleaner to remove decades of 1/8" thick dirt/grime/baked-on oil? Aluminum case, so I'm concerned about using regular Simple Green. But then again, would it be OK on the relative thickness of an engine case? I know it can corrode aluminum skins so it shouldn't be used there, but for an engine?
Or is there something better? I was planning on taking it to the quarter car wash to use the hi-pressure washer once I found a decent solvent.
Unfortunately, I don't have a Safety-Kleen parts washer.....
