You're moving very quickly with your project. How did you go about cleaning the pistons and valves?

What have you been using to clean the bare aluminum? Looks good!At the moment I have been just cleaning things and making a list of things that I need to make it run well. It has sat for about 2 years and I plan on fixing all the leaks that may come up. Once it get the initial maintenance parts done I will get it running and see how the compression is. If it is low I will throw some rings on it and redo the heads. One big thing is that one pushrod seal is torn and needs replacing. I am guessing the others are going to be leaky as well.

I wanted to clean the engine so that I can look for leaks and monitor the seals.
Thank you!What have you been using to clean the bare aluminum? Looks good!
Bet you are going to like the ignition. I put one in my R90/6. I never was able to get the points set up timed perfectly. I could static time it and it would start great, but never could get it to advance dead center of the inspection hole. Set the alpha to full advance and it is still pretty close at idle. Starts and runs great now. Funny, I used to have an Omega, but now have an Alpha. Hope the beginning works better than the ending.
