Just about to drop the motor and trans on a '74 2.0L to rebuild the motor, and will be posting questions along the way. Thanks in advance for all who reply.
First things first. What advice do you have for cleaning the outside of the motor and trans? Any chemicals I should use or avoid? What prep work do I need to do first (eg, to protect sensitive parts)? Thanks. |

I have not tried Easy off oven cleaner.. from what I gather.. you need HEAT to make it work correctly (duh.. its a oven cleaner.. I know)
Stick with the brake cleaner.. and plan on spending 50-60$ on 2 cases of it. The biggest headache of owning a 914 is getting it clean after 30+ years of road grime.. once you get it clean.. take care of it. I use wire brushes sometimes to break up the big chunks while I spray with brake cleaner. B |
