    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How do you clean the glop there ...

I have my tank off to do my clutch cable and figured I would snug up my valve cover since I was getting some seepage and am cleaning my engine. Man oh man I love that simple green!!

but

How do I clean the glop that has developed down in around the spark plugs. I can get all the fins and everything else but that glop is an issue. I tried spraying some engine clean on it, waiting 12 minutes and hosing it off but on a cold engine it hardly made a dent.
So what are you guys doing besides maybe just not looking down in there!! :)
 
Take out the plugs and stuff a rag in the hole. The plug is now out of the way and a conical wire brush and a dermal should clean the real quite nicely. shop vac anything loose up and put the plug back n.
 
Another option would be to find bolts with the same thread size as the spark plugs, and replace the spark plugs with them while cleaning
