Engine cleaning

[BinoX]

Allo all
 
I\'ve not long had my RX7 engine apart and after seeing that there doesn\'t seem to be any damage to the rotors or housings it\'s time to give it a good clean so I can check properly and prepare for a rebuild.
 
So my questions are simple.
 
1) What should I use to get the carbon off the rotors and the little bit in the rotor housings
2) What should I use to generally clean the insides (and outsides) of the components and housings etc
 
Thanks in advance

I used carb cleaner on the rotor, worked fine. Also any sortof parts cleaner on the components should do the job.

Give the parts a good soak and use a brush to get all the carbon off. You could use any old side or apex seal to clean out the groves they sit in

Don`t use anything harsh to clean the carbon off i.e wire brushes etc, the rotors should have a gold coating on them, I`ve been advised that its better to keep this on.
