painting motor(cylinder) got some questions

[vartiak15]

ok as far as the painting i got that under control but how in the hell do i get the motor clean? because i dont need to strip it off to use high heat paint and what im talking about is the cylinder how do i get all the mud out of the little crevesis? is there anything i can get and spray it in there and it will eat all lthe mud and gunk off?

go to the car wash and use a pressure washer...

simple green or other degreaser and a pressure washer

If you want to do a really good clean/paint prep. I suggest you get it beadblasted or sandblasted. I sandblasted my head and it got rid of all the baked on mud and grime. I think i will just leave my head/cylinder that alloy bare metal colour. I'll just try and keep it very very clean so it doesnt look old and chatty.

pressure wash it then bead blast it and it will be like new

thanks guys the car wash didnt do nething for that baked on gunk so i just took some good ol' gasket remover and sprayed it all down and it took most of it off. now if i get some paint on the outside of the cylinder can i sand it off or use some paint stripper to get it off?

On unusual surfaces like a gast tank and a cylinder. I use bumper stripper. Its a spray on paint stripper but it acts as a foam and it fills in the nooks and crannies and it sticks to all the dips and such, got my gas tank very clean now time to clean the inside :evil:
