What do I use to clean the engine to make it look new

<< < (3/4) > >>

MrDavo:
I like the creative use of house bricks and wooden blocks as an engine stand.

Mine is the Trigger version.

AshimotoK0:
Those engines look simply spiffing Dennis .. you should be very proud.

Word of warning to anyone going to a soda blaster ... I went to one near me and he told me he uses the same blast cabinet for both glass beads and soda .... . I walked away because there is no real way of running the two media's in the same cabinet without cross contamination no matter how much you try to clean it IMHO.

I must admit that was not as impressive as my 3x2 stand that I used for the final assembly of the bike

An associated question:
what's the preferred look on those classics?
"new, off the shop floor" or "clean, with well earned patina"?

It was worth all the effort in the end despite the stubbed and sore fingers.
