A good bath with hot water and some soap and the gage will work just fine. I doubt air will blow it out sufficiently to work well and will just replug with dirt from all the oil.

Youre right , air wont do it. The shiny part on the bottom is where I tried it with a pressure washer but too much stuff in the way. The steering cylinder was leaking, the pump was leaking, the hydraulic tank was leaking...

I have had rads where the fins were so thin and rotten, a cheapy pressure washer would have blown them clean off.

With a water mix of Purple Power on the radiator let set for about a half hour then spray it with the power washer holding the tip away about a foot and unless you have a major pressure and volume washer going cross ways so the spray is not moving across the fins it will wash it out pretty good. Resoak as needed. Coming on and off the side of the rad with the tip it will wash it right out without bending of folding the fins over. If you try up and down it will fold /bend them.

I purple powered that thing at 100% several times.... wont touch it . Maybe cant see on the picture, but that is dry, hard dirt. Have to scrape that stuff out manually.
Wouldn't a brass bristled brush carefully wiped back and forth along the fins maybe get the most of the stuff off? Maybe a stiff bristled worn-out cut shorter vacuum cleaner brush with the vac after you get down to the fins..again wiping along with the fins? Then soak the whole thing in something? Looks like a yukky job! Leo

All my motorcycles had the sprocket bolted in instead of with a C clip.
