More Headaches
Yeah, people did ride them HARD and to top it off, self "maintenance" was routinely performed by hamfisted mates, paid with the six-pack method. This is a great demonstration of how NOT to rethread your plug coils...
Notice how grotty these heads are, and I spent a good half hour on them.
These were the least corroded of the lot!
I use a strong water based
detergent for ally parts (also for cylinders) as Gunk is pretty
expensive and really meant for degresing stuff not for removing dirts.
The stuff I use is "Cillit BAng!" in powder form, just fill in a plastic bucket, make a good mixture (like 4-5 spoons), put the parts in there, brush them a bit with a toilet or a bottle brush... and come back next day. Rinse them well and let dry before using the Gunk in the parts washing machine.
