RE: Engine cleaning advise needed.
[img][/img]Actually a very effective cleaner is at you local Store- Dawn Power Dissolver can be found in the cleaning products area. I've heard people say a Crock Pot with Anti Freeze, Ausies use what they call "Brown Sauce". Dawn Power Dissolver sprayed on the engine liberally, soak for 15-20 minutes, use a toothbrush to free to brush the casting and areas that are thicker. Rinse the engine in very hot soapy water, reapply and soak any area not completely clean, re-rinse and then blow out thoroughly wit compressed air. I normally ten run the engine a couple minutes on my test stand to really dry it out. and put in After Run Oil. I cleaned an Enya 50 that was 18 years old, had hundreds of flights on it, probably put a total of 40 minutes including soak time into the job. It looks fantastic.
