    Aluminum valve cover clean up

    OK, I'm not finding any information in my usual search locations so I'll ask the question.
    How do I clean the aluminum valve covers to make them look new? I dont want to harm the aluminum, so what do I use that will cut the grease?

    Thanks

    By new I assume that you mean as they were originally.

      David,

      In my experience, to make them look as new you send them to someone like John DeGregory. He does excellent work at a fair price.

        I did mine years ago and glass beaded them then coated them with crystal clear Rustolium. Aluminum after cleaned picks up every fingerprint and stain, I did my munci and intake the same way and they may loose points for that but wow.
