What to clean the motor with?

[NoNos38]

Just woundering if there is some special cleaning solution that you can spray on the motor? I use simple green on my buick, but just want to check with people that have done it.

Thank's inadvance,
Matt

simple green and a tooth brush when you got about 1 spare hour, you wont get it any cleaner

any mag wheel cleaner will do. it also makes the raw aluminum look almost white.

I"ve read spraying oven cleaner on the motor while it's hot will work like a champ..

i know some one who sprayed oven cleaner all over the motor of there 250x and it made the motor turn the uglest dull color you've ever seen.

Go to Bennys or Wal-Mart or anywhere and get some Simple Green, this stuff is great.

Grease Lightning works good too, dont even have to scrub unless they are those stain that have been there a while.

wheel bright is a real good one to.;) I tryed them both the other day, and I have to vote for wheel bright..:)

I use carb cleaner, it works awesome on everything, even your chain because it won't damage the o-rings since it helps moisen the rubber parts in your carb.

i use castrol superclean works great just spray on let it sit then hose off.

the ovencleaner thing:DON'T spray it on your wheels or nerfs it will turn alum. a white color looks like $hit.

is this a breather port to relieve pressure or something?

bermbanger400 i use castrol superclean works great just spray on let it sit then hose off. Be carefull with the Super Clean if your aluminum is polished cause it will spot and streak the crapo out of it.

I stopped using it except for the real tough grease and dirt cause it kept getting onto the polished bumper nerfs and other misc stuff and then they needed to be polished again.

Could ther be different oven cleaners that work better????

lasvegas i think thats an oil line connection....I could and prob am wrong

[kicken250x]

it looks like the breather tube that goes on my X. and if it is then yea i think thats what it is for is to releave pressure. also does simple green streak and spot polished stuff, i tryed to use grease lightening and that makes it look BAD! but idk about simple green? later...

I tried it today on a 87 model big red that im working on and i was not impressed i will stick with casterol super clean.
