D3 head question

Post  OldRedFord on February 7th 2010, 10:07 am

This might be obvious to some, but anyway.

What is the best way to go about cleaning up all the metal grit up after grinding on the heads? Compressed air and a shop vac?

I just want to be sure all metal shavings are gone.

The same way you would when cleaning a block.

Compressed air,good degreaser
Soap/hot water
compressed air

Will the factory valve spring retainers work with the Ford Racing M-6513-A50 springs?

Big welding magnet, dont want that stuff getting in strange places like your lungs or your freshly machined bores or what have you. Actually now that I think about it an electro magnet would be better, just unplug it over the trash can and the filings just fall off.

I think if you got your heads or block even remotely magnetized you would be in world of hurt... until you could reverse it.
