Engine Cleaning, help needed
My engine is in need of a good clean to to the previous owner putting a grease/oil on for protection. Over time the grit and grime has built up.
What is the best cleaner to use and how should I go about cleaning my engine?

Tape up your electrics as best you can and get some spray on degreasant, leave to bake for twenty minutes come back with one garden hose and squirt gently. If you desire, use a dog leg brush, one with a long handle, and scrub in the degreasant. It should come off pretty well after a few scrubs and squirts.
Good Luck

Try the CD-2 stuff from Halfords ,it's 2 cans , one to get the grease off ,then let it dry and spray on the second can and it makes the engine bits shine like new .
It gets recomended on here often

Another CD2 fan. £8.00 and it brought my engine up like new. A good 30 mins was required along with a light spray but......well lets just say I wish I'd have done a before and after picture.

Maybe next week eh ?

CD2 is the stuff to use
spray it on 20 minutes then wash off with watering can or hose pipe slowly
wipe off and then.....
...get the misses to clean the entire engine using a small electric toothbrush watching her bend over (of course)
... then spray on the final coat
Jobs a good -un !!!!
