I suggest never using a metal brush (or anything) on gasket surfaces that is harder than the casing metal itself (which tends to be pretty soft).You are introducing micro scratches and if too aggressive, heavier scratches or even gouges that will cause more headaches later.
Thank You, I tried this and noticed that after letting it sit for a few minutes the grease came off with not a lot of work. I sprayed down my firewall and then I sprayed with water, without scrubbing, and it cleared about 80% on its own.
❤👏👏🔥 Thanks 4nthe 411 + OUTCOME IS 👍. My concern was,ARE U NOT SUPPOSED 2 PROTECT THE EYES,MOUTH & HANDS COZ THEY SAY DE EGREASER NOT GOOD 2 HANDLE BARE?!!😢😮💭🤔
I NEED HELP i have a honda steed 400 there is sth wrong with the moto so I took it off to fix it I found the problem so I need to clean the parts first but I have all kind of grees on it I live in egypt
Those engine cases look beautiful, why paint them? If you want a better finish why not go for 1500 grit paper wet sanding then polish them. Personally, I would stop where you are, leave a clean classic patina look, whatever you do from now will either devalue the future value of the bike, or make it hard to bring back to original without stripping the engine. Basically what I'm saying is, it's perfect the way it is.
never use brass wire on alloy. period! The brass is then transfer into the alloy!..not good when cleaning.i like the orange degease but i would use a steel wire with the dremel to get good results.
I was leery about course wire brushes on Triumph T120 cases but found using a plain welding brush on the cases didn't scratch. Your results may vary
Came for engine cleaning tips, thrilled to see triumph parts! Good video too.

Agreed. Just used a brass wire brush attachment on my die grinder. Tested it out on the bottom of the case. Definitely leaving scratches behind.

I just spray aluminum cases with phosphoric acid looks like brand new. No scrubbing needed.
Where do you get that from? I'm getting ready to finish building my 4.7l stroker for my xj and the old engine is filthy

You should cut the dunlop volley in half. They're an Australian icon.

Why
Wish I knew what store/stores carry this 😒
It’s literally the dollar stores brand they sell
$1.00??
>>> LA's Totally Awesome - Awesome Oxygen Orange All Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser, 32 Fl. Oz. >>> $22.43
Just picked up two jugs from the Dollar Tree for $1.25 each, definitely not $22.. for the other folks out there. (Usa)
White spirit
Dont paint it!
