In Reply to: Should I be conserned with all the grime built up on my Valve cover and lifters, ect...? posted by Michael Haertel on July 17, 1999 at 02:08:42:
I found an old can of oven cleaner and sprayed down the valve cover, and it looks great now, the only problem is that instead of being blue it is now a shiny chrome color. It needed to be painted, but it looks so good, I think I may just leave it as it! I never thought oven cleaner was so strong. I figured it would work on the oil that's burnt to the cover since it's for removing burned on grease in the oven.
Mike's Tip #1 use oven cleaner to remove oil and paint off engine parts!
hehe :)
