Header and Pipe cleaner

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Those of you that don't want to handle some of the corrosive chemicals one  
could use to clean 2 stroke headers and ally pipes, my friend Gary showed me a  
nontoxic method that anyone can use. Why didn't I think of that?
 
Dip the header or pipe in warm water with some dishwashing liquid and then  
take a Brillo or SOS (steel wool with soap) pad and scrub it. It surprised me  
how quickly and easily it worked. In ten minutes I had both the header and 
pipe  cleaned, and the header especially was caked pretty good with baked on oil. 
 
I used the new Brillo with Oxy Action, but I think either will work fine.  $1 
for 5 pads at the local WynnDixie. 
 
Then worked the typical polishing with Brasso metal cleaner, and after  about 
20 minutes polish job, pipe and header look better than when new.
