For anyone doing this please read. I did this to a cylinder head and it worked beautifully but you will gave to replace the valve seals because they are rubber and they will turn to pieces. So after the whole cleaning process is said and done get your self some new valve seals and some tools to do the vve seal job and there you go your all said and done

I use a 44 gallon drum, aircompressor and hose to bubble/agite the water whilst boiling for 3 hrs i found this to be the best ive been using this method for more than 20yrs

What's funny in the day I had to go to three different machine shops one for brake drums and flywheels because they were fast, the other for my cast iron engine work like heads and blocks; but the best part this elderly guy did aluminum head work with carburetor cleaner to clean it the heads were absolutely done perfect.

I’ve done this at home. I have a small electric pressure washer (1600 psi) that I attach to the water heater drain. Wash it with hot water right after tanking it and it looks brand new!

I just did the same thing just last week!!!
Same zep and everything. Worked perfectly!!!!

[jayjonah]

add a high frequency agitator and i think you could skip most of the pressure washing too :D

It's good to hook a metal wire up to the parts so you can pick them up and down and swoosh them in the water .

I would add an air line to the bottom on a really low pressure to add a little agitation to the water solution

My go to for detergent it TSP, i coat the carbon areas with oven cleaner for 15 minutes, use a large slow cooker for small parts.

Caution: Heated galvanized metal emits phosgene, a highly toxic colorless gas that can be lethal in concentrations as low as 2 ppm. It is crucial to opt for an alternative material for containing items like a steel drum.

There are 1500-watt electric immersion-type heaters that could be used for this as well. Might not get as hot as the propane but still enough heat to do some work. I used one in a HD tote with vinegar for derusting parts. The heater changed from a 2-week soaking down to 1-2 days.

Hey take a few orbital sanding pads and glue them to the can. Slap an orbital sander on it and turn it on. No joke, it's a ghetto ultrasonic cleaner. I bet it will work even better with this settup. I've gotten carbs super clean this way in a bucket.

Haven’t started seeing this ingenious idea just watch the fumes!! Got everything laying around, pressure clean and Garbage tank it!!

[lizzielecates]

That's badass! Thanks for sharing... I'm going to add a drain spout and an ultrasonic agitator to mine!

[troy]

I think attaching a vibration device to the outside of the can would make a big difference; kind of like a sonic cleaner.

I saw this and thought “how to clean an engine, dump in trash, got it”... 👌🏻
Uh, just a thought here, heating up metal expands it, so leaving it in the solution until it’s cool and then hosing it off after it’s been sitting for a while will avoid any sudden temperature shifts thusly avoiding warping.

Thats come up beautiful. You could send that over to the aqua blasters without upsetting them( I've found they're normally preciuose little princess's who don't like oil and greese) well impressed with your work lads👍🏻👍👍👍👍👍

[jorgecaraballo]

Dude, with a hotsy pressure washer that crud will blast off clean.😎👍

Just pressure wash at your local car wash for less then 4 dollars. Spray it with degreaser then pressure rise with soap water to keep metal from rusting. You are done in 8 minutes
