Cleaning?
There are many methods discussed on this forum.
Boiling, baking, oven cleaner, soda blasting, sand blasting, acid washing, hot water pressure washing, scotch brite... ect...
I use vapor blasting

If I lived closer to Sandblaster, every bike I own would be apart and at his shop being cleaned up. Oh, and I would broke.   :-D

Hey guys. I have finally got around to cleaning my cylinder to reassemble the KIPS system. I saw on another forum that guys suggest using oven cleaner to loosen the carbon in the compartments and it worked quite well. After I cleaned my entire cylinder i made sure everything was nice and clean of chemicals then dried it and used a hair drier in the hard to reach areas to make sure there was no water left behind. After I dried it all the machined areas of the luminium turned dark grey. My gut tels me that its nothing major to be concerned about, but, is it it something to be concerned about?

SOHC:
its good to spray them with WD40

Thanks SOHC. I've given the cylinder a coat of 2 stroke oil, will give the other machined areas a coat of WD40 as you suggested. Appreciate the feedback, thanks.
