Okay as some of you have most probably realised, Obelix ii is in for a heart transplant at the moment.
The problem I have is that there was a ridiculous amount of carbon and oil sludge build up in the motor. The sludge is gone but how do I get rid of the carbon build up?
Remembering that the engine is aluminium block and all. I have tried different degreasers, Aluminium mag cleaner ( the non carbon area's are now very shiny) is there a product out there made for this??
Thanks

A friend of mine had given me something a few years ago called "Spotter". I'm not sure if its commercially available. Its a clear liquid.
I tried it out this weekend on the casing of gearbox that was absolutely filthy. I only had about 200ml. Put it in a pressure spray bottle thingy and sprayed it on then left it for 5 mins and gave it a little brushing with a plastic bristled brush. The box came out like brand new. Problem is i didnt have enough to do the entire box
I unfortunately dont have the guys number. Will see if i can get it from someone.

A few years ago I was really peed off when the special alu cleaning product,I had ordered for a job,was used by my sons to clean their offroad motorcycles engines.I had a planned service and cleaning of an industrial refrigeration plant made up of a lot of alu components.The buggers had used the product which was not readily obtainable.
I took some of my wife,s " collar and cuff" equivalent product sold around my area called " vanishing liquid" and did the leaning job.It worked as good as,if not better than the specialised alu cleaning liquid.
I still use it for cleaning engines and oil etc today.I understand it has ammonia as part of its formula.
Our very own Stephan van Eeden is the owner of A-Z Chemicals in Pretoria and they supply a very lekker Alu cleaner.I use it to clean intercoolers on the inside and outside.

Pull it apart you don't want anything coming loose and blocking your oil passages and then you will just have to re-do everything you just did and more.
If you ask Greg he will be able to get the right stuff to clean the sludge off

Let me know if you need Alubrite. Apparently it works quiet well. Just a pity we do have any before and after pics
Use the dishwasher if you can't use the bath
