I got my ultrasonic cleaner today. It means i wont have to use my dishwasher to clean car parts any more 😂.
I got the m42 head disassembled and cleaned. By Tom’s recommendation I used Simple Green aircraft cleaner. I am super happy with the results. I could not get the whole head in the tub. Anyway it got most of the head, valve cover, cam trays and timing cases clean.
Unfortunately it looks like the exhaust side valve guides have a bit too much wear. I need to check my other head and compare, but I might need to redo the guides and valves.
I was going to get some supertech springs and retainers to handle some shift cut bangs, might as well get the whole head rebuilt.
👍

Turned out great. Simple Green Extreme Aircraft cleaner is magic. Worn out guides is a bummer; time for scope creep… 😅
