What is the best way to clean this up?? I plan on completely disassembling the head first, but what should i use/do to get the surface rust off?? Will a strong degreaser do it, or should i try something heavy duty?? thanks and heres the pic:




p.s. my friend left it outside for a while...

For that crusty-*** **** I would take it to a speed shop and get the thing hot tanked.

 

hot tank

 

just use soap, water, and a toothbrush. jp i would take that apart and hot tank that bitch, then go on from there

Get a gallon of carburator cleaner(like $25 or so) and use a plastic tub and put the head in that.. Then dump the carb clearer on the head and start scrubbing with a tooth brush.. You should tear down the head all the way and remove the valves for cleaning.. Your also going to need new valve seals since the cleaner will eat them away, but it kinda looks like you would need new ones anyway..

 

so how much does it cost to get it hot tanked??? if its around 25, ill just let them do it.

thanks though to everyone

A local shop quoted me $60 to hot tank my d16z6 head.. But then again they also clean it very good before you get it back..
