well, after the progress of the weekend i though i ought to carry on see what i can get done before lack of resolve sets in and i end up with another greasy pile of parts to deal with…

so… on with the new protective gloves, clear off the draining board and get the cylinder heads into the sink and start scrubbing…

half an hour later and they’re looking better but not good enough…

into the dishwasher on ‘intensive’ wash. an hour later and hey presto!

they come out steaming and looking the same as when they went in…
..the dishwasher however is filthy.
