Engine Cleaning.

Hi, does anyone know of a method to clean a motorcycle engine with it fully assembled? The issue is to not damage gaskets. I have Truck Wash which I'm assured will do it but wonder if water blasting or soda blasting would be faster. The whole thing is alloy and I'm after a clean metal surface suitable for painting. Lindsay.

Hi,

why don“t you just take some alloy wheel cleaner and a sponge?

Regards
Chris

Worth a shot.

Hi, thanks, I'll give that a try. It would have the adventage also of not needing to be washed down.........onto the kitchen floor! Lindsay.
