    Its happened you so as well:thumbup:

    Dishwasher seems ok about it, I put in two tablets things(dont they look like you could eat them? I may try one yet) I put it on the super dooper insane wash(the one you never use)...Hopefully Ill still have casings AND a dishwasher left after this:lol:

    I Hope it doesn't pong of gear oil when Its done actually.....this is the ''good ware'' dishwasher too(In the kitchen).....How much are dishwashers these days anyways[:$]

    Regularly got the full on face splash back when making sure every last bit of a block was clean.
    V10 merc diesels were the worst.[8(]

    I believe freebasing cocaine is marginally better than eating dishwasher tablets. Although I hear the kids chomp on plant food these days.[:s]

    You would just make a dishwasher if you break this one. Do not try and palm us off that you are a consumer.

    ps. Sanitation is overrated anyway.;)
    All the best from the mucky pup.:thumbup:

    i think option number 5 makes a man come into your house whilst you are on the bog, he offers you a towel and sprays you with some cheap knockoff aftershave then charges you a couple of quid for it!

    I should imagine the dishwasher equivalent is something similar!

    I has tried everything to clean aluminium Brian. Turns out that the black stuff on the alloy is called 'Smut'.

    I have found a place that sells stuff to remove 'Smut'. Costs too much for me!

    was it not powernut who used battery acid on his gearbox casing? apply for a very short while and rinse carefully.

    It takes wayyyyyyy longer on superwash....the dial must go around 6 times[:$]

    As for cleaning alloy correctly if anyone wants to,
    Soak in caustic soda 1 pt soda, 4 water ,for 3min, or until crap is gone, then dip in nitric acid diluted say 4 water 1 acid to de-smut, that'll have it like new.

    The final pics,

    All oil and crap is gone, few parts remain, but its not oily dirt, more crusty, if you get me...hmmmmm...A dip in caustic soda next should de-crud them completely.
    (dangerous, gives off hydrogen).:thumbup:
