I need a parts cleaner that is big enough to clean a medium sized motor block. I live in an area where I cannot use any cleaning material that is toxic or inflammable or has a highly disagreeable odor. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Any information about ultrasonic cleaners? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You don't say where you live but if you have an automotive machine shop nearby it would be cheaper to take the block to them and have it cleaned. They use a hot tank that cleans with high press hot water and a strong de-greaser. When you get it back soak the block down with WD40 and wipe off the excess with clean rags.HTH

Parts wahsers for engines do exist. My friends have one that they wash engine blocks and transmission casings in. Not sure of the brand. It uses something like powdered tide detergent and pressure jets while turning the block on a rack. Pretty much like a big automatic dishwasher. The water/detergent will of course be contaminated with oil and the like after the wash job and will need to be disposed of properly.

Here's a thought. Take it to the car wash. Put on some degreaser, and blow the he?? out of it with the hot water. Hot water will dry relatively fast, then spray it down with a coating of oil so it won't rust. Might want to remove it from back of truck during the process at the car wash. Might want to rap it with cloth or plastic afterwords to keep it clean.
