Trying to get my transfer casing clean. I've had good results with a wire brush attachments on drills. But with the transfer case there are a lot of very small crevices that i can't get to!

Is there a chemical that would be effective? Or is bead/shell blasting the only option?

Cheers
Dan.

When i did my old carb i used tool de-greaser, next i used auto sol and wire wool, for the final step i used small wire wheels on a dremel came out shiney as fook few little bits missed but good enough for what it was in lol.
When i get to the stage of building my motor up at some point all bits will be dressed to loose weight like paul w this will also bring out a nice finish *smiley*
