cleaning up used head
I have got a used head for my d15b2 1988 civic lx. I need to clean the head and valves up because of carbon deposits and such. What could I used to remove the build up off the valves but not hurt the valves. Maybe some sort of attachment in my dremel? Spray?

Re: cleaning up used head
well you know, theres dirt and shit all over the place, and with the valve train still in there it could be building up in places when its being cleaned. and it definetly wont be able to clean to the full potention with the valves still being in place and blocking passages.
i guess you can make it look pretty that way, but its still not fully clean.

Re: cleaning up used head
Thats true. I would let them hot tank the valves why I was at it though. Won't hurt for those to be clean.
