Brush for interior engine cleaning... Need some advice
« on: November 21, 2014, 02:56:13 PM »
Ok, Getting ready to clean out the interior of the case before I glyptal it. It has already been soda blasted. Going to wash it a few times and then I want to take a cleaning brush to the interior before it gets wiped down with denatured.

So, my question is which brush should I get/use???  http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Accessories/Pages/SubCategories.aspx?catid=2064&catname=Polishing+Brushes

Should I go with Nylon, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, or Brass?

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Put on a rainsuit and goggles at the local coin-op car wash, set engine cases on the ground (a rubber mat is helpful), and have at it. The pressure washer really blows out all the passages and bolt holes. You need protection because the damned spray comes right back at you off the concave hollows and bolt holes.

 One more lap through the dishwasher and it's good to go.
