You could just soak it soapy warm water over night then use a brush and if possible compressed air to blow it out the next day. Did this to my rad when I refurbed it last year without any issues, no need for harsh chemicals imo
I agree It's just road muck, perhaps a bit of tar, the secret is take your time steep with a detergent for a while, I find a solution of Biological washing powder is good. But you have to make sure its dissolved properly first. Mike.
thanks guy i tried engine gunk also some hars alloy whell cleaner i will get a big bicket and soak the bustard in than if the result is good i might even sand down the sides and paint again ))
