    You can buy some proper hair-removal stuff from the supermarket - it's much safer to use on your nuts than gasket stripper, Rene.

    I used oven cleaner in the past with very good results. What the over cleaner leaves behind can be removed with one of those scotchbrite plastic sponges for the kitchen and brake clean or carb clean.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Is there any products out there to make the job easier than old fashioned sweat and elbow grease?
    If the stuff is out, engine specialties are your friends. They must have a bath of some kind as Paul's head came back like new in every nook, cranny and orifice.

    Use it on your head, but not on your orifice!

    True that - better - especially on a small capacity engine.

    I dont know about water in a piston engine but on my rx7 i would get a bottle of water and put a hose in it and with it running and holding the revs up i would stick the other end of the hose onto a nipple on the manifold and it would suck the water in with the vacume made. Worked well on a rotary. But i dont know how it would work on a bike.
