Basically what methods have worked for you and how effective are they.

Started stripping down my k1100 head yesterday and would like to get rid of some the carbon and make the outer casting shinny again.

Cheers

I'd take it to an engineering place and get it cleaned in the chemical bath; cost me £10 last time and was cheaper than buying all the cleaners myself

i think the preferd method is using the parts cleaner that some of us have in our kitchen but only when the other halfs out the house

I just use Gunk and when that runs out I use old petrol. This gets the worst of it off. Then it is a combination of brushes (various, plastic, metal, brass, tooth, etc) and a bit of elbow grease.

A power washer can help too. I have also seen folkes down the local jet wash getting teh worst of it off.

Diesel works well as a parts cleaner.

Lmao i read that back after and thought that no one would comment something like that but i got a good laugh from that.

Im sure you knew what i ment but for any police/narcotics agents monitoring the inter webs i ment coca cola (there are other fizzy cola drinks available)

i might try it on some old parts to see if it works.
