How to make the engine look new?
littlewing78:
I think its actually Dawn Power Dissolver. Either way it does work awesome.
Another great cleaning method is to cook parts in antifreeze. It may be a bit hard to do with bike parts but I use it on my RC airplane engines. I fill a crockpot with antifreeze, drop the engine in and cook it on low over night. They come out looking like new. Just be sure to never use that crockpot again for anything else. You would need an enourmous crockpot to clean bike parts though.

Ive done the same thing with the rc engines, but it didnt do much for bike parts. Does it work for you?

Never tried it on the bike. I just got into riding. I did use the Power Dissolver yesterday and it works great on the bike.
