I use lacquer thinner, about $45.00 for a 5 gal can. Like all solvents you
need to be very careful to have a good ventilated area when using it. I
used to use varsol, but I could not find any the last time I needed solvent.
Gasoline? Reminds me of setting my basement on fire while cleaning the
parts of my 1952 Zundapp, it was a blizzard that day and the fire chief was
not happy... Nor was my mother!
Clean safely,

Subject: [TR] What do you use to clean greasy parts?
I just tore down my nasty greasy engine. I took the big parts with the
block to the machine shop and am getting those cleaned with the block.
I used to use gasoline to clean parts - but pretty sure that's not the way
to go today, With everything I have I think there would be a case of brake
cleaner or more to get the hardware, etc clean.
What are you using to clean parts?
Thanks
Chris
