Ok so I have been caught using my wifes dishwasher with bits of my CB500T.
my question, i bought my own dishwasher for the garage would i do any harm if i put things like cylinder head (stripped obviously) has anyone tried things like a head and barrels in a dishwasher? would it warp it?

UK Pete:
No not hot enough to warp, rule no 1 never get caught by the wife with bike bits in the kitchen

Standard dishwasher cycle is 60 degrees C

Just don't use the tabs...

billy192:
do you think it will get all the grime off the parts, if only enough to get clean enough for paint?

I did wonder when I was writing that.

Without any cleaning agent, you are effectively washing your parts in 60 degree hot water.

I always thought that standard dishwasher tabs were corrosive (hence why stuff has to be "dishwasher safe" and why you never put decent glasswhere in them). They clean stainless steel cookwear but I have no idea as to their suitability for aluminium alloy.

A search on www.sohc4.net might turn up some advice.
