I finally got the last parts back from the guy that was gonna build me engine originally, the heads, And they are HORRIBLE inside the bowls, Later tonight I will post a pic of them. What can I use to clean them and QUICK w/ out damaging them , I have to drop them off to the new builder tomarrow.

 

Here they are

1)

 

2)

 

Try a laxitive like Exlax or an old fashioned enima.....oh wait you said bowl not BOWEL.

I used engine degreaser and scrub brush on my TPI plenum, runners, and intake. Worked fine. I've heard something called 'Purple Power' is the **** Never tried it.
Your problem may be different. It's baked on, so try oven cleaner. Hell, it'll take paint off if you let it!

 

what would have made them so bad, the car ran like a champ with them on there.

I havent looked at valve seals/guides yet, but judging by the rusty stuff in there it looks like the gasket might have been leaking, could that have been what shot some smoke on start up in stead of the guides/seals?

 

would a dremel with the wire wheel attatchment work good if I didnt touch the valves.

 

Those would be called "combustion chambers". The bowls are part of the intake tract.

 

odyssey beat me to it...

Your pictures dont show a "bowl" in any of them

 

I know I know, I dont have an excuse for my stupidity, I meant combustion chambers. I was tired I guess when I posted, it was when I got home last night, after being on the road all day, I guess that was it.

anyone have any opinions on the dremel option?

 

Dremel/die grinder with a cartridge roll and an old valve...


you can smooth out the casting for more detonation tollerance

Its worth the 30min-1hour at the bench if you just do some quick clean up.

 

old valve? for what

 

To protect your valve seats while you grind around your combustion chamber


You dont want to scar a valve you're going to use, and certainly dont want to damage the seat

 

Oven cleaner such as Easy-Off eats aluminum, so don't use that.
