I assume you mean when there appart for a re build? There was a guy who took them to some hot engine wash for diesel trucks and they came out like new. I dont remeber what it was but I was very impressed.

brake cleaner,a good degreaser and a pressure washer worked great for me.

Clean as in looking like new. Cases are now split for crank work. Well almost new, not polished though. 'shee ain't no trailer queen. Friend at G.M. was going to check into what might work. Tried Alumna Jelly while back, wasn't impressed. Any body ever try bead blasting or walnut shell blasting???

I just beat blast my case and the clutch cover yesturday and the result is very impressive I recommend taht to every one.

 

The beat blast is a sandblast with some very small glass ball, never use traditionnal sandblast on aluminium.
