I soaked mine down with oven cleaner and let it sit overnight. Useda power washer to wash it off and then went over everything with a wire wheel. Sprayed everything down with brake cleaner and primed it used a good quality self etching primer. I use Dupont Imron paint to paint the engine. I also blocked off the heat crossover in the intake so it would not burn the paint. That was almost a year ago and it still looks like new today. Thanks - 69rrvert
