Alloy Head - What Not To Clean It WithTech Talk Page

www.norvilmotorcycle.co.uk

These photos show a customers cylinder head.  It was brought to us after being chemically cleaned by the customers local engineers.  We obviously could not salvage this head - there are limits to our miracles, but thankfully we were able to supply a good second hand equivalent which eased the pain.  Alloy does not like being cleaned with nitric acid, you must only use degreaser. 

I think you'll agree with us - it is clean though!
