I would like some suggestions as to what to use to clean and "brighten" aluminum such as an engine case.
I don't want to media blast the case. I know this would clean it but would end up leaving a more rough surface finish that I would like. I would like to use some sort of cleaner/brightener. I plan on using a pressure washer or a spray type parts washer. In searching the web I have found only a few types that can be bought in small quantities (like a gallon). Thanks for your advise. |

The inside of the bell housing should be clean, just like the outside of the transmission. but that will never happen.
Just take your tranny out, disassemble it, and take the cases down to Zim's and have them tumble them. Get a tranny gasket kit, and put it back together. You fix all the leaks at once, and you get a nice clean tranny out of the process. |
