I use Oil Eater. Available in gallon jugs at cosco for $10.

If the inside of the engine is orange, I spray this on and it runs off like water. This head was pretty nasty before. It eats oil! Works better than brake cleaner , but I use both

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
