GL1100 cylinder heads before & after cleaning

Post by timothy1027 »



Following is a pic of the cylinder heads (combustion chamber-side) before & after cleaning. I used various cleaning methods including: wire brushes, gasket scrapers, aerosol carb cleaner, brake cleaner, gasket remover, razor blades, pressure washer & 150 psi of compressed air.

I like it when the labor we love is well worth it. Good Job.
