Subject: [Shop-talk] clean used engine before use?
I have a 4 cylinder MG engine that was removed from a car in good
working order. I know the previous owner and I trust him. The
engine has been stored without valve cover, oil pan, manifolds, etc
in a working garage. It basically just sat in the corner for a year
or so. I would like to use this engine as is, without disassembling
further. My question is, how would you clean this before use? I
could use a hose, but I am concerned that water will get trapped in
inaccessible places. I also considered spraying it down with
WD-40. They make a "big blast" version with a wide area
spray. There isn't any major dirt I'm trying to deal with, but I
figure a couple of grains of sand could have landed in it
somewhere. It seems like a rinse would be a good idea. Thoughts?
