rumblefish's Duster project

I forgot to add a few items and the total stands @ $1,860 rounded up. or a total of about $360 in parts and stuff above the cost of car and tires.
I didn't add the brake cleaner case's. The felas at autozone give me a brake and are into this project as well. Everytime I walk through the door, I get questioned on how it's going, what I need and how soon it'll get done.

I did go through 3 cases of brake cleaner. The carbon build up in the heads and on the pistons was really like I've never seen before. Thick! Flakey and probably crunchy if you ate it.
I didn't down load the pictures yet, (AWOL camera) but I also used a brass wire brush and cleaned the piston tops off. First the carbon came off in layers and then with ease with a spray and scrub.

You might want to tilt the engine on a stand for this. Now you can rotate the engine over. This way the debrise falls off and onto the floor instead of inbetween the pistons and wall.
