Construction of my coffee table (Scrap V8) has been underway for a week.
The bloke I got it from wanted rid of it, and it used oil and water like
they were going out of fashion.
I'm already fed up off trying to clean the engine to something half decent
looking that will not ruin the lounge carpet.
Once I had stripped the engine I jetwashed it and steamed it. This seemed
to get rid of most of the gunge. I have now spent all week trying Paraffin,
Fairy Liquid, Jif (or whatever it is called nowadays), Brillo pads and also
Mr Muscle oven cleaner, but I still cant get rid of the ground in stuff.
has anyone got any idea what will bring it up nice and clean and looking
like new?
Does anyone want any of this before I put it on ebay?
Pair v8 cast iron manifolds
Pair rocker covers
Pair 9.35:1 EFi heads, in need of TLC. They are sludged and gungy and the
head gaskets had gone.
EFi manifold and injection unit.
