Default Best way to clean inside head due to broken valve cover

Junk yard motor's valve cover filler is broken off and there is a small amount of dirt and plant matter inside the head.

What is the best way to clean it?







Thanks

Blow it out with canned air and then use a lint roller tape by hand to pick up the rest of the gunk. Then use some sort of surface cleaner for engines and dry it up after cleaning. Throw on some assembly lube and call it a day. Not the 100% scientific / proper way to clean an engine but it gets the job done.

water and degreaser is fine as long as you dry it well (air compressor for me) and re-lube it, if its going back into your engine, just some oil where the fsm recommends

It's a complete motor, I don't want to take it apart.

It's academic, head is f00king broken.

IT'S A BREAK CHARLIE BROWN YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE, NO SOUP FOR U 1 YEAR!!!!!

F00king head is broken where the exhaust cam activation sensor broke off. They listed it as missing but not that the HEAD WAS BROKEN.

Even if I wanted to use my head, it has +1mm Valves, is ported polished has a valve job and 0yeah JWT S7 f00king cams.

GAAAAAAA





Oil runs from the actuator inside the head to the sensor. Even if I were willing to half azz it it will be a pretty oil fountain.

^ that sucks. id be requesting another engine from wherever you bought it, or all your money back. hopefully they wont care enough to pay for the shipping of that one back and you can use/sell the parts like i did when zfever sent me a broken block (motor mount)
