Can I get some advice on how to clean and protect the oil filter cover and other metal parts? They seem to be stained. I was thinking of using some steel wool but I don't want to make things worse. Thanks for the help!

Soda blast it.http://www.aircooledtech.com/tools-o.../soda_blaster/
I bought a compressor from B&Q for £60 and it came with the pistol attachment. It's not got enough guts for a impact wrench but ratchets, nail guns etc are fine. Surprisingly handy and well worth the space it takes.

I tried buying some engine cleaner but it didn't do that much. I think the oil has been there for a while. It was like a glaze. I had to use a screw driver to chip bits of it up. Then I used the steel wool. It took a lot of sweat and elbow grease and I'm not even done yet, but I like the way it's looking.
If I unscrew the oil filter cap to clean the back side of it, will oil come flowing out if it?
Thanks for your help!
