Cool added tips.

I missed the first reference to a green cleaner but read the 2nd one referencing “Simple Green” and then found the first when I re-read the thread. I like that it is not highly flammable (at least I don’t think it is) and that i have some around the house.

Taking it to a u wash is also a good idea but I’m too lazy to find one.

Regarding corrosion risk for the valve covers, is this a real concern for a valve cover? I don’t care about the aesthetics so much as just getting the gloop off. The top of the engine including the valve covers is covered by a big plastic thingie. The source for the oil build up is the valve cover gasket so once it has been replaced I hope it will not be a problem for a while.
