Title: What do you use ? Edelbrock intakes
Post by: 2savage4you on August 21, 2007, 06:07:52 AM

So what do you use to clean all this crap off?  I was thinking about sandblasting them or is there something else i can use. I figure while its down it gives me time to clean everything up and make it look close to new again.

Since it's off the engine, sandblast it. It will look brand new. You can also try simple green and a scrub brush but it's going to take a lot of elbow grease.

I would love to be able to sandblast them but i have to find a sandblaster first. Maybe i can send them to the high school if they have a auto shop or do you think the welding shops should have one.

 Well i still have to get my front mount welded so i think i will be calling around.If not i will try that simple green stuff ;D Got plenty of time. The longer it takes the more beer i drink.

Hey i kinda like that.
