[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 138073, member: 456"] That is why I suggestg fitting the manholes. I remember the details of three I have done. The ex-Cecil Mills bike was really dirty and no amount of soaking with petrol, gunk or jizer etc would shift the dirt. One could not even see clearly just how dirty it was until there was a hole in the top. Once I could get into it I used a pressure washer and lots of patience. In total contrast my own production class sprint machine was totally clean. I have no idea of the history of that oil tank. The third one was rather like the first discussed here. Impossible to get properly clean without the top access. One other place that surprised me was the oil ways in the timing cover. It took many goes of squirting petrol throught those tunnels before it came out clean. [/QUOTE]
