i should be working  Group: Members Posts: 265 Joined: 12-October 07 From: charlottesville, va Member No.: 8,215 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region  |
The previous owner didn't worry too much about leaks. Ive replaced pushrod tube
seals and cover gaskets. nice and dry now. I have SS exchangers... but the years of leaks have left there mark. the engine is fairly clean but it's the heat exchangers which are nasty from the top-end leaks. Before I put the rest of the ductwork for the heat back on the car I want/need to clean both the inside and outside of the exchangers. If I don't Im forever going to be poisoned by the burning remnants of oil. yuck. without removing them, what is the best way to get them nice and de-greased? any products work better than other? thanks! -chris |
