cleaning cylinder heads

[92whiteZ]

Impulse purchased a used set of cylinder heads/cam covers. Was going to clean them well before I store them. Suggestions on how to clean them well by hand? Was going to take some brake cleaner on a rag to the combustion chambers unless someone has a better suggestion. Not going to spend money right now to have them disassembled and steam cleaned right now.

Thoughts?

Thanks

That should be fine to use

Put them in the back of your truck, and take them to the car wash.

Wear a raincoat. Keep your mouth shut.

Thanks. Would have gotten this far earlier this evening, but had a date with manager of local Advance Auto. Nice top end, but crank has a pretty 'strong' stroke...

Ports are blocked off.

There was a few drops of coolant under driver's side of plenum. It was right at one of the small ports. What could it mean? Gaskets look fine. There was coolant under the TB cover http://www.zr1.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2838&stc=1&d=1381602786 What's that? What's failed there?

I have broken one lock tang - IAC http://www.zr1.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2841&stc=1&d=1381606089

Got heat sink paste in the computer box. Do NOT put in on in a 'ring' - that makes an air bubble, which traps air!!!

To the car wash with the plenum. Wear a raincoat. No matter where you stand, the jam has you in the crosshairs when it comes out the other side, along with the carbon & grease jam. A tip; if you're chewin' gum, keep your piehole shut. Nothin' like tartar-control chewin' gum http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-fc/yuk.gif http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp176/Beccka/smiley-yuck.gif

Every orifice and tube got the nozzle front end. I got the back end :censored:.

I use a fine brass wire wheel on shop grinder. Then a brass wire brush adapter on 3/8 inch drill.
