Thanks

I used a dishwasher but that led to all sorts of domestic issues.


I now use brake cleaner.

Yeah, it tried the dishwasher, but I didn't find it very effective. At least my missus never found out.

Try Tool Station. They do brake cleaner in an aerosol can for £2.45. I always buy three when I am in there.

Oven cleaner like mr muscle

Oven cleaner and a suede brush for the alloy
If it's the outside of the cylinder head (between the fins) you can use sand paper, a clean rough surface aids heat transfer.

Try brick cleaner £10 a gallon at B & Q. Very strong.

Thanks to all. I'll do the dishwasher first and see what happens!! Then I'll try the rest.

Thanks

The dishwasher may clean it but it leaves them grey and dull

Not really going to use dishwasher
