Hi all,

While I've got my head and cam off its a good idea to replace all the seals and give the outside a good clean.

What have you found best when cleaning that horrible lacquer stuff they put on these cars. Mines quite filthy and the standard degreasers don't cut it.

Ah, I see

While it's off why don't you get it powder coated
Maybe gunmetal and skim the letters

That does look good when its done but I just want to give it a good clean.
I'm getting the inlet manifold done but want the cam tower and cam shaft housing to clean up nicely.

Not found a decent product yet to get this gunk off.
