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) |

I bead blasted 2 fan housings, and they looked pristine bare.
1 I coated with crc corrosion inhibitor which gave it what I think looked like a factory finish, a sort of golden coat of wax/oil. It's been on a shelf for a few years and it's darkened about comparable to a factory finish. Never actually ran it though. The other I put installed bare and noticed it was oxidizing, some white rust on the top. I decided to rub motor oil on it, and I think it actually worked pretty well. |
