Removing cylinder liners

<< < (2/2)

UK Pete:
It makes a real stink, especially if there is oil on it, and it takes ages for the smell to go, i bought an oven just for hobby uses ,
btw make sure you remove the large rubber o rings from the bottom

K2-K6:
On that tack I've been told a few stories about some gentle simmering of engine parts.

One had to dismantle most of the oven interior to get a barrel in, another using the dishwasher without salt to clean engine parts (you'll have to buy an old one of those to go with your oven Pete!).

And my favourite, someone I worked with got caught with a Hilman Imp engine on the kitchen table when his wife came home from the hospital early after giving birth.

Also read about a bloke who after giving up racing old Jags, ended up with one spare engine so installed it in the fireplace of his pub with the exhaust up the chimney. He and the locals apperently used to thrash the nuts off it after drinking a few.
