I used spray on nitomors, a jet wash and good old wire brushes, it wasnt very good to be honest, but it got most of the crud off, I repainted the engine using PJ1 Satin black off ebay, the PJ1 paint is really good.

I just used spray paint from halfords to paint the primer and colour coats, but I used proffesional 2 part laquer. (not to be confused with 2 pak paint) laquer and hardener mixed together and sprayed using a compressor and spraygun. I have used this technique many times with great results. also, the “petrol resistant” laquer from an aerosol leaves a poor finish, and is never really petrol resistant. the proper laquer is fine when cured long enough, usually a few weeks..
