Im taking out the engine from my car soon to do some work and im wanting to clean the engine and gearbox and then paint them.Does anyone have any tips when it comes to cleaning the both of them,Shall i keep them bolted together then jet wash them and gunk them?Is there anything especially on the gearbox that i need to be careful of that i dont get no dirt or anything in it?
Any comments would be great.
gunk and a power washer.
Anything i need to know about like dont get dirt or water in certain places of will it be fine?
what degree in cleaning are you doing eg stripping the engine down or pulling the engine out and giving it a wash?
Just engine and box out,good clean and paint.Im replacing a few bits but not to the point of opening the engine for a rebuild.
well what ever do you make sure you dont get any eletrics unless you dry them out just leave ya shafts in ya box to revent water goin in there and blast away becare about ya cam belt blasting away may get oil all over it and shorten its life.
Cambelt will be changed anyway.Shall i leave the engine and box together then
see my thread about cleaning F28! same process for block really...., at all costs dont get any water inside the head either via inlet or zort or your in big trouble mate removed all electrical bits if you can, saves big trouble later one!!!!

whats that product jizzer ?
just a de-greaser its actualy jizer. The best one to get for gearboxes is a tin of gunk, Much better at getting grease off.

use a pressure washer on it first to get all the lose crap off then start to degrese it using gunk or tfr or any simaler degreser
Just use a high temp industrial pressure cleaner!

and we use that jizzer at work, its good stuff
That box has come up mint, guna have a go at mine this weekend
They've been painted after surely???? Mine looks like that only cause I painted it in smooth hamerite

agreed, i used gunk and paintbrushes, and a hose, but warm water would be better. most of all time is what you need, a thorough job needs a fair amount of time but the end result is worth it
We tried cleaning our box, came up clean but not shiney so painted it with hammerite
