• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

During the sprucing up of my newly acquired S1C, I would like to clean up the FWF area. Patched up and holy baffles are coming off and soon to be replaced with a Van's kit. I don't plan on an engine OH anytime in the near future with only 384 hrs SMOH, but the engine could use some TLC on the surface. I do have a pressure washer. I was thinking of of protecting critical items that would not take kindly to high pressure water such as mags, carb, alternator, and starter and finding a good engine degreaser and applying it then power washing it off. Any suggestions on the matter would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Don
