Received my heads to do off Markey Mark.
No hope of using my valve spring compressor - it is too big.
They need cleaning, and I will regrind all the valves and also port mod.
What is good for cleaning them and the parts?

better idea
put the head on the kitchen side with her mobile next to it
then ring her and ask her to wash it

approx £5 a gallon, takes the oil straight out of your skin.has a list of downsides a mile long but happens to be the ultimate degreaser bar none.

I did a week of work experience at Ealing studios when I was at school, and about 15 IIRC. At some point I had to paint a door (long story) but the only thing I could find with which to clean the paintbrush was trike, and the only place I could find to clean it was the PCB darkroom, which was a bit confined.
Needless to say it made me wonder why I spent my Saturday evenings pi$$ing around with 2 litre bottles of cheap cider.
;D

Where can I obtain such stuff these days then!
-
well you could take a trek to trowbridge and pick some up.i buy it 45 gallons at a time as i happen to have a trike/trich? tank.however there are still a lot of places still using it in the sheet metal industry(whats left of it anyway)so im sure you could find some closer to home.

There are still trike substitutes available, we use it for degreasing aerospace components
-
they keep trying to foist that stuff on us,costs twice as much to buy and uses twice the heat to boil it and still isnt as good.

I used to use proper trike, boiling it in a galv bucket and dipping parts in.
The substitute stuff is used in a customers supplied process. the management were jumping up and down when someone said "CARSENOGENIC"
