OK, I emptied a whole can of MEGA oven cleaner on my heads about an hour ago... Good news, they still look like aluminum heads

| Post subject: | Can I use Oven Cleaner on the engine case or heads |
Since the 40 horse is still with me I decided to tear it down, figure out what is good or bad with it and possibly use it for a while if I can get it going. I like to use oven cleaner for a lot of hard to clean stuff. So has anyone used oven cleaner for their case or heads? Edit: Looking through the forums I found a couple topics about case cleaning and am reading them. Is there a way to merge this into one of the other topics. |

I think I have some of that in the garage now. I like the oven cleaner because it is pretty cheap and cuts through just about any gunk real quick. |

i have never used oven cleaner on heads, but I have used it on several cases, as well as my tranny, and had no issues with it. |

I've used oven cleaner on cases before, didn't seem to hurt anything. |
