Using Anti-freeze to Clean engines?
Crashem,
Here's what I do,, works fantastic every time,,,,,,
Get an old crock-pot at a flea market, garage sale,,etc,,,,
DO NOT EVER USE THIS POT TO COOK FOOD IN!!!!!!
Set you dissmantled engine (remove all O-rings, gaskets, etc) into the pot and cover with regular (read environmentally UNfriendly) Anit Freeze, and set it to simmer overnight,,,, I leave it out in my shed,,, never anywhere in the house,,,,,
Next day, turn it off, strain out your parts,,(can keep the anti-freeze for future cleanings, have been using the same batch for about 8 engines so far) and rinse off the parts under a steasy stream of warm water,,,, and old tooth brush may come in handy to remove any caked up stuff in the nookd and crannys,,,
oil all parts (I use Marvel tool oil),, and re-assemble.
You will not believe how great this works!!!!!
