Truck that is.
My disco has been an oil leaker for 6 out of 10 yrs, as most are, and a collant leaker for about a year. Well this weekend roverless no more Dave and I broke down the top end of the engine. I sent the heads to the machine shop to be decked and resealed. While I was there the shop owner, Don Ewing (Ewing automotive machine shop parkwood dr Snellville GA, shameless plug) said they were in great shape for a 10 yr old head. don't need to grind the seats, or replace the valves. There was no ridge on the top of the cylinders, and other than a little carbon, the pistons looked perfect. This weekend will be the oil pan and then after that its put it all back together time.
I promise there is a question here....
What would be best to use to clean all the old oil and gunk off what is remaining? Is there an enviro-friendly cleaner out there tough enough to remove the gunk?
