Aluminum wheel cleaner for engine block&heads
Is there anything to spray on late model aluminum engines that have that white powder look?, Would wheel cleaner work and then a spray of lube?

I use Meguiar's G14324 Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner. I order it from Amazon.

Any uncoated aluminum cleaner should work quite well.

I can't recommend this stuff enough for use on bare cast aluminum. Amongst my car buddies, we like to call it "magic juice" and we use it on everything from aluminum heads, blocks, intakes, timing covers and anything else that needs a good scrubbing. Spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes then scrub with a brass brush or red scotchbrite pad. It is acidic so latex gloves are a plus.

Ive never tried it on painted parts so I can't say.

Thanks. I'd like to clean up the intake, but don't want to destroy my block paint in the process.

I think it'll be fine as long as you rinse it off quickly.
