Re: Engine clean-up help
soaked in degreaser then power washed with warm water i sabout the only way I know of.
But, you "found" a can of degreaser? The stuff breaks down, especially if it's been sitting in your garage in heat/cold.

Re: Engine clean-up help
yeah, you have to let it soak for a few minutes. It actually works best after running the motor for few to heat the surface.
and, if you go through extreme temp varations over the year, yes, stuff goes bad quick. every spring I find myself restocking.

Re: Engine clean-up help
