I need to clean the engine from years of built up grease and grime. I'd like to invest in a bead blaster but that'll probably have to wait a while. For now i took the ring that holds the exhaust pipe on and ran it across a wire wheel. It cleaned up nice I think. problem with the wheel is that it doesnt fit into tight spaces, and the dremmel tool I used on this piece is flimsy and breaks easily (I used a fresh one on this piece and it was shot by completion). If anyone has a bead blaster that wants to help a brotha out, please let me know...
