Brake clean + engine = ??? -
03-30-2007, 12:39 AM
Can I pull the engine head, back plate, and clutch off my engine, and spray it out with brake clean?
Or what would you guys recommend? I was born under the hood of a 68 FastBack, Synthetic 10w-30 in my veins, 120 octane in my bottle, Nitrous Oxide for adrenalin and a Blower for a soother

Ok.
Can I keep the carb, engine head, and backplate on, but take the clutch off and spray the engine exterior with brake clean to clean then engine in general?

You can spray the internals with brake cleaner if you want, just make sure to repack the front and rear bearings with grease, as well as a thurough spray down with WD40 of the internals as you assemble it, this will provide start up lubrication till the oils in the fuel relube the engine.
Oh yeah, it'll smoke real bad for a little bit too as it works the WD40 out of the engine. Little Toys: Hyper One Seven | Inferno GT | Jammin X1cr | Jammin CRT Pro | 1989 Batmobile Replica

werks....
you dont need to spray out the internals you shouldnt ever have to, if ur set on it take the stuff out of the case and spray them individually keep the grease/oil in those bearings www.czech-it-out-graphics.com 1/29/07 never forget....TTT Bringing old know-it-all blow hards back to reallity at a forum near you "Always Imitated, Never Duplicated"

If I take thhe back plate off, can I just bolt it back on, or does it need to be resealed??
What does one use to re-seal it? I was born under the hood of a 68 FastBack, Synthetic 10w-30 in my veins, 120 octane in my bottle, Nitrous Oxide for adrenalin and a Blower for a soother

You can use carb seal or some RMV sealant

It is, DO NOT use Wd40 on the O-rings. And you should never pack any grease in the bearings, the fuel is the lubricant. If you really want to clean the motor internals, take it apart and clean it with nitro cleaner or alcohol. You can clean and scrub the case with simple green and a brush. You can rinse it off with water after you scrub it, but as soon as your done run some fuel and or afterun oil all over the inside. If the oring on the backplate is good, just put a few drops of oil on it and seal it up, you really dont need any sealer on it.
