Sand in oil pickup... how to remove? - 06/30/09 03:21 PM
My 440 Source swinging oil pickup arrived a couple days ago.
Full of casting sand.
The portion that swings is sand-cast; it wasn't cleaned prior to assembly (assembling the pickup, that is - it never got anywhere NEAR my motor!!!).
Because there are a couple bends in this, I don't see how I can get a brush in EVERYWHERE through the middle of that part.
Any suggestions how I can get every-last-minute-freakin'-particle of crap out of that thing? 'Cause, if I don't KNOW it's clean, it ain't going on the engine. And, this is hanging the project up.
Thanks,
-Bill
