Cleaning engine casings

#1 PostAuthor: redzed78 » Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:49 am

What is the best way to clean up a set of engine casings. Iv got them compleatly stripped and I've washed them down with a bit of paraffin.

I've heard puttin them in the dish washer can clean them up???? Does any one have any experience of this??

Have you got any pics you can post on there to show how good/bad they are.

I wouldn't use the dishwasher there's a good chance they will darken down. Get a local aqua blast or soda blast - not bead or grit. If you don't mind spending a bit put them to Steve smethurst for the best finish
