Re: 1960 Apache K10 build
I got the 6.0 all torn apart and ready to clean up and paint. It was a little bit awkward, but I managed. But...slow and steady, got it pulled apart. I also pulled apart and cleaned the 862 heads that i got.
I tried a few different methods of cleaning, and I think I settled on a nice middle ground.
I hit them with some oven cleaner and let them soak for about 45 minutes. this gets most of the grime off of them. After that, I mix some purple cleaner and water in a spray bottle, and soak them down, and scrub them with a wire brush. They came out actually looking much cleaner than I had expected.
The plan with the 862's is to do a quick little port job, lap the valves, and put them on the 6.0 for a little extra compression.
Anyhow, I should be getting some parts soon, So things should keep rolling right along!
