I'm getting lazy. I made the kids promise not to tell and bought them off with pizza.

I hope you are at least using something like "Dawn" which is good to break up grease!!!

You better do an extra cycle of the dishwasher after your parts are done....with soap, to make sure you get rid of any "evidence"....um grease!

we remodeled our kitchen a while back, wish I had kept the old dishwasher.....used the new one once for a few "clean" car parts...wife was not amused

I washed the dash vents and the fog light grilles in the dish washer and they came out looking like new.

Honey I'm just gonna .

Amy would KILLLLLL me!!!

My balls would be on the mantle if I ever thought of using the NEW dishwasher....

That's why I use my old washer I have in my garage.....

Stoopid washer and dryer broke with one week of each other....I hate appliances as much as I hate electrical wiring.....well maybe less than the smell of burnt tranny fluid....

Those parts were a whole lot cleaner than the kids plates before they go in the dishwasher. They'd been cleaned with solvent then brake cleaner and blown dry with compressed air. Give me clean dino oil over chicken fat any day. The worst thing in the world to touch is uncooked ground chicken.

Dave

You are bold!

My kids would eventually blab!

If you have any Tang in the house - use it instead of dishwashing soap to clean it out after you are done. Works real well.......

I try to do mine when no one is up or around........

Instead of dish soap, use liquid tide.

Then after the parts are washed, run an empty cycle with your normal dishwashing soap.

Once my shop oven broke(Overtemp because I bypassed the thermostat :-)and I used the oven in the house to preheat some heads for valve guide install.....

The girl i was dating at the time asked me why the oven had a weird oil smell in it- I told her that it must need cleaning and that she should take care of that!

That was like 6 girlfriends ago!

When I'm heat treating tool steels I do my post-hardening temper cylces in the toaster oven, but I be sure to get all the hydraulic fluid off the pieces first. I mean to say I wash them up real good ever since that one time... Thank heaven for a patient wife.
