Hot tank/cleaning in the Triangle

[ncduckman]

I am in the process of a major tune up and want to have the valve cover seriously cleaned. Anyone have a suggestion for that service?

No, but why not just clean it with brake cleaner or similar? Maybe soak in a pan if really grimy.

A machine shop ?

Just had mine done there for the 60.

I was thinking about a good deep clean as I may paint my valve cover as it is off. There is a good amount of goo that has "soaked in to" the porous aluminum.

I'd sandblast it with glass bead, then paint...
