Good and outstanding job

Dawn powerwash 👌

I want to see how it holds up after being ran before I do this

Do you need any kind of special high temp primer or paint? I've used regular spray paint and primer on valve covers and never had an issue with flaking but I would think the block gets hotter because the rotations assembly is there

Any updates? How is that primer holding up on the motor? Did you cure it at all before painting it?

Do not use the wire brush on aluminum blocks, will leave scratches everywhere

I think you mean don’t use a steel wire brush on aluminum blocks as this will cause rust on the block. Stainless steel or brass wire brushes work great!

Brake cleaner Takes out quick

Turned out great. Someone painted mine in red along with everything else under the hood, looks terrible IMO. I plan to strip it down and paint it black....

Thanks brother! Oh geez. Maybe he was a fireman lol

I found your channel via your appearance on your brother's channel. Which of you is older? Oh, and nice work on the cleanup, but could you speak a bit to how you a) keep working with gasoline as a cleaner safely in a contained space/garage, and b) how you capture and dispose of it to keep trash legal and tippers from combusting with oily rags? Thanks.

Camas oh that sweet! I am older. A) No cleaning chemicals should really ever be used inside an enclosed space unless dictated by the warning label as safe...that always been my rule of thumb, obviously if your using gasoline there is no label so common sense has to kick in that it too is a vaporous chemical that is flammable. B) I used a sheet of cardboard that i caught all of the droppings of grease and gasoline from hitting my lawn. I have some spots of dead grass but most hit the cardboard which was great because I rolled it up and put it on my outdoor fireplace 😂. Just burn that stuff like gasoline is refined for.

Do not let your oven cleaner dry on your engine or parts. It is hellacious to get off once dried, however, muriatic acid will remove it.

Didn’t have any issues. Just scrubbed it down with water as it is water soluble and used acetone on as many of the flat surfaces as I could for paint prep.
