Whats the best thing to clean an engine with? "GUNK" or something else?And is it cheap enough to buy new filler bottles and throw the grubby ones away?

a good wire brush

I used Autoglym engine cleaner , great for removing oil and other crusty build up. Spray on and wash it off.

i wanna paint some parts like the manifold with high temp paint so i guess im gonna be using a mix of wire brush and chemicals...... I cleaned an engine in my triumph acclaim years ago with Ajax oven cleaner and that worked a right treat........im just gonna experiment i think............thanks for the input

gunk is good stuff mate... just spray it on... a rub with a brush if needed and then just rinse off

Yeah had a lot of people tell me gunk was good.....Used it before but wasnt good..Saying that the tin was like 10 years old and had been sitting in the shed

probly not in the best state then

Do you guys just spray water on?
or do you cover electric parts?

just spray it and let it dry out........ worked for me in the past just keep away from the air filter
