Wompa 0 Posted February 4, 2011 What did you do to the block to get it looking better? Mine is in a similar state and it is need of a clean, any tips/info would be much appreciated! I used acetone (or any strong solvant) and a nailbrush, you can use a towel or something also... And where the head gasket have been I used a gasket remover tool. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/images/lib ... 211437.jpg It just alot of elwbow grease and time :luvlove: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
