Hey I am looking for a way to clean my 911 block and chain housings. I know the block is magnesium and I think the chain housing are as well? Anyway, what is the best way to clean them up without taking everything apart and having it hot tanked or media blasted?

How about haveing it steamed cleaned to get the bulk of the grime off it? Usually places that do undercoating like Ziebart have the steam cleaners.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Please pay attention....heads up..."steam cleaning " WILL WARP an ENGINE BLOCK, HEADS, ALUMINUM parts........BECAUSE it puts a very high localized temperature on ONE section of the component as you are cleaning.....You can destroy the machined tolarances,and you will not realize it unless you pay attention during reassembly of the engine....This is not to say it it won't bolt back together. IT,s just a lot more difficult for the case halves to,mate, slide together,fit, snug up,in a natural sort of way.(it,s a you gotta feel it sort of thing)...steam cleaning of sheetmetal is OK.....
