what do i use........
i got my new GMPP 350 on wednesday and its a little dirty and i want to clean the entire block in and out before i start assembling it and i was wanting to know what i should use to clean it. i bought a bottle of acetone and i was wanting to know if this is ok to use on the block? i plan on using my pressure washer first to get inside and the outside of the block and then my steamer to clean any tight spots then the acetone as a last step to clean before paint and assembly. any suggestions or better ways are welcome.

For the outside of the block, use good ole soap & water, rinse real good a couple or three times. Depending on how bad the outside is, you might need to use a wire brush also. On the inside of the block, use paper towels & tranny fluid. Got to be careful on the inside since you don't want to leave anything in there.

thanks guys i went and got some simple green from the auto parts store today and i will run over to my brothers tomorrow morning and pick up my pressure washer and clean the block and get it ready. i started draining my fluids today to get the old engine out and ready for disassembly so i can pull the parts out that i need and put them on the new block. i will take pictures and find my old thread one my project and update it as i push along on this.
