I’m disassembling a 1.7 parts car engine and want to paint the fan housing for a future engine build. After a couple of hours of scrubbing and cleaning I can see metal underneath all of the caked on grease and oil! What’s the best next step cleaning and prepping process before paint? Is oven cleaner ok to use?
Thanks, Jsaum Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() |

It's an impeller (fan) housing and IMHO heat dissipation isn't a critical concern.
I've media blasted and painted several without a discernible change in engine temps. |

Mag is a pretty reactive metal and I wonder if paining actually increases its lifespan by slowing down corrosion. |
