So I borrowed my neighbor's power washer because mine is not working and decided to power wash the engine. It cleaned up pretty good. I still may let it sit in a tub of diesel fuel to clean off the tar on the bottom. I will also buy a dress up kit to replace all the nuts and bolts and chrome after final mock up and after it is running.
I also decided to sandblast the new frame to get it down to bare metal and to blend the smooth grind areas from removing all the gussets. Now you would not be able to tell where any grinds were ever made other than a slight temporary discoloration.
The reason I did not sandblast the backend of the frame is because that is all going to be cut off and a hardtail will be welded in place.
