RE: First time cleaning an engine
Righty...
All the info thus far is good. Cheap antifreeze, etc.
Go to Wal-Mart and get a cheap $10.00 crockpot and use that. That crock should be "marked" so as
not to EVER prepare food in it afterwards as antifreeze is poisonous as all get out and I'm not sure you can
completely clean it from the crock.
Fill 'er up with AF,toss in the motor...park the crock outside (NEVER indoors) and plug it in.
Let it stew all day and the motor will be shiny clean.
Put the motor back together with lots of oil and then LEAVE it together.
Good Luck
