Evilgoat:
Head gasket gone between 2 and 3, I SORT of suspected it wasnt right
Oilway gone to the outside world
Camshaft seal weaping
Intake Gasket disentegrated
No seal on the EGR pipe through the block on either end.
Exhaust gaskets both suspect.

I have a full gasket kit here so none of the above worries me. What does is that 1 and 4 are utterly coked up. Any suggestions on cleaning them out? Just shedloads of carbon so I suspect they may have been getting oil.

Also best way to clean the outside of a cylinder head? My steamer isnt touching it, figuring its easier to do off the car.

wheelspinner:
Are we talking the head or the top of the pistons.

I used a small wire brush on my drill on my head,then gave it a bit of wash in my mates parts washer....shiny,shiny.

Pistons and block i used a pallet knife and a hoover.....obviosly the thing that you want to avoid is the scrapings dissapearing down the oil and water ways so i just masked them off with a bit of tape.

Regards

Steve

underside of the head is fine, light brown dusting, all valves are in good shape, no pitting or burning.

Dont have a dishwasher.

All seriousness though, is there nything against getting the head soaking wet provided its allowed to dry, and of course flushed when its back on.

I have a plan if theres no problem with that :)
