Hi guys,
I posted a thread a few days back about some advice on rebuilding my engine and got some really good pointers and tips. There's one thing I'm not clear on and i thought it probably deserved its own thread, as I haven't been able to readily find the info.
What is the best way for an amateur mechanic to clean engine parts?
I don't mind paying a bit, but I also don't mind working and learning, so I'm easy.
If I can do it myself, what will I need as far as tools and cleaning compounds go?
If it's best to send it to send it away, what services, exactly will I require and for which parts? Eg- soda-blasting or bead-blasting, grinding? I'm not sure, so it's hard to find a shop in my area.
I'm in Sydney, Australia, BTW. So if any of you live around here and know some places, I'm always happy to take a recommend.
Thanks in advance guys.
