I was adjusting my new rockers on my Vette the other night and I get some oil spilled on the headers. I was adjusting them while the car was running, so while getting burned with hot oil, I really could not wipe up the the oil that spilled on the headers.



They are ceramic coated Hedmans and I can not get the oil off the headers. Its burned in. I use degreaser and hosed it, but with no luck.



Anyone have any suggestions, without painting them. I used Zep Purple power diluted for the degreaser. I also tried straight Simple Green, and again no luck.



All help is appreciated.:up
 
becareful that the oil does not start a fire in there esp. the exhaust area ...I see it happen a lot. ^ What Ikon said ..Just use brake cleaner and wipe with a mircofiber towel.

Oh I know the oil could definalty catch quickly, I actually hosed most of it right after it spilled and started to burn. I am going to try brake cleaner, then hose it again. I am making a trip to Carlisle in 20-some days so I what to get it cleaned up.
