i tryed simple green and it doesent work for cleaning the block i need something to make it look new can anyone think of anythin that i can use to get this clean

help me out

 

Grease Lightening from Walmart. Hope I spelled that right. Try searhing, there was a thread about this w/ pics.

 

Did you have to scrub or was it a simple spray on, hose off?

 

Silver high-temp spraypaint. Yes, I'm serious. Easy and effective.

 

use Gum Cutter spray, it eats away anything off of blocks. It is similar to carb & choke cleaner, but much more effective. Buy 2 cans to be safe. It is aerosol.

 

Did you use it correctly? Did you wet the surface slightly first, then spray it on, wait a few minutes, then spray it off? If you did not use a pressure washer, I highly recommend it. If the engine is in the car, drive it to a car wash and spray it down. If the engine is out of the car, throw it in the back of a pickup and take it to the car wash. Use a spray bottle to wet the surface (so you don't waste time on the car wash clock), spray on the Simple Green in the full strength concentrate, let it sit for 4-5 minutes, then use the pressure washer to clean it off. Works wonders for my engine bay.

 

Make sure you use the AUTOMOTIVE Simple Green. If you have just the regular Simple Green cleaner it won't work nearly as well.

edit: The Automotive Simple Green cleaned my block very well. All i did was spray it on, then wipe it off after like 10 - 15 seconds. Got all the oil and grime off no problem.

When I cleaned my block, I used Brake Cleaner, scrub, spray simple green, repeat if necisary.... granted this was out of the car, that I stripped down to almost nothing, with the intention of cleaning it... but it worked.

 

THis stuff

and there's 20% free

 

Gunk is the ****...get that..only that sucks about Gunk is that ...after you use it..it smells like **** in your interior..from the fumes. Hey where the hell did you get the 20% free Gunk?

 

LMAO. Gunk will cause some dry specs too becasue its soo strong.

When that happens I just hit everything up with a light touch of WD40

 

Of course you could always hot tub it at your local machine shop.

 

I had the cylinder head of my last car (after everything was removed) sandblasted.. man that thing was blingin
