I’m disassembling a 1.7 parts car engine and want to paint the fan housing for a future engine build. After a couple of hours of scrubbing and cleaning I can see metal underneath all of the caked on grease and oil! What’s the best next step cleaning and prepping process before paint? Is oven cleaner ok to use?
Thanks, Jsaum Attached thumbnail(s) |

Looks good.
Remember to scratch off the paint where the 4 bolts from the engine mount the fan housing onto the engine case. This is the return (ground) path for the alternator. Also scratch off the paint where the alternator bolts to the housing. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I made that mistake and slowly saw my voltage drop over a 4 hour drive and almost didn’t get home! That does look great though! |
