[QUOTE="Ken Tidswell, post: 24153, member: 3355"] What i should have said and it was implied from the length of preparation / cleaning up was, don't do it this way. The cases can be got very clean using brake cleaner fluid , bought in aerosols, do not smoke, inhale or use in a confined space it says on the tin. I have just cleaned out a very contaminated timing cover, full of what must be very fine polishing debris. The pressure relief plug was stuck in i eventually got it out with a length of welding rod pushed up the drill way from the oil filter chamber. Took out the slotted grub screw and squirted brake cleaner down the hole the filth which comes out from all the various holes was amazing . It is a good idea in my opinion to do this when reassembling any motor. Ken [/QUOTE]
