Hey all, I've got quite a few parts that have got some heavy grease/oil buildup on them (cam covers, intake manifolds, pistons, timing covers, etc). they're all aluminum, so I don't think I can use a lye mixture. I've been using Simple Green heated to about 120 degrees, which worked great on the first few parts. Now, things are starting to come out with a thin, oily film on 'em. What do you all use to degrease really greasy parts? I think the hot simple green would work well for a final soak, but it's a bit expensive to use for this kind of grease-cutting. BTW, I'm soaking it in the simple green. I've tried spraying and scraping, which works well to a point, but the intake manifolds have pretty long runners, so a soak is the best way I can see to get inside the runners clean. Any suggestions for cheaper degreasing solutions?
Thanks, Mike
