When it comes to washing the parts, we just got a nice spray cabinet and 55 gallons of non-corrosive solvent. I am throwing all of the obvious stuff in there but what about some of the electricals? Like the starter, or the VP-44? I was kinda thinking the starter should be ok since it hangs out in the water, mud and crap anyway while riding around on our trucks, but what about the VP? Both are pretty grimy and I have cleanind alot with pressure washer prior to teardown and cleaned quite a bit with solvent as well. This spry cab. would sure make the job easy though. What are your thoughts?

 

At 1200 to 2000 a pop I would just wipe off the VP 44

 

Ditto!!!!!

 

Surely you jest!!!! Don't even think about putting electrical components in the washer. Pistons, bearings, chains, painted parts that you want to stay painted on unfaded, fan drives, injectors, IP's and plastic parts are just some of items to keep out.

 

I do jest. And don't call me Surely...... Sorry, couldn't resist that one!

Point taken. No electricals in the washer.

 

If you are "jesting" just throw the whole trk in the tank.....................................

 

If only it would fit.........

 

Here's a few pics of the damage. Hopefully I'll get it pieced back together in the next few weeks.

 

Is that pic with the pistons taken at the college?

 

wow, that is ugly. what happened?

 

The pic is at GRHS. I had a split injector tip that caused it.....after running it for about 50 miles or so at hwy speeds.
