Cleaned out the other side of the garage this weekend to make room for the donor 1974 2.0.
Right now I am planning on getting the following to prepare for removing the motor and starting the tear down. Parts washer Jack with > 17" lift (I have 2 that only go 13") Furniture dolly (to move motor) Anything else I might need there? Also, is the parts washer really necessary? If so, do you use the non-combustable cleaning fluid or is some kind of solvent or fuel the best way to go? Thanks, dr |

if you're going to bead blast, may as well get a powdercoater for the tin etc...

Or you could go the cheap route and get a case of brake cleaner (berrimans sp? is my fav brand) and us it to clean most of the parts...If you already have an air compressor put the air blower attachment on and spray that and the can of brake cleaner at the same time, that combo can usually blast most stuff clean.
That said, I would get a blast cabent if you really wanna get stuff spotless... Good luck, Tony |

Have compressor, so do you spray the cleaner while you are blasting the air or is there some kind of air tool for this? dr |

Yeah, just blast them in tandem, no special tool...the air helps to blow off the stuff that the brake cleaner loosens up. For really grungy stuff I blast the brake cleaner, let sit, then blast again with the air on it also.
Oh and be sure to be doing this in a well ventilated area with no sparks/flame around...that stuff is toxic and highly combustable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) HTH, Tony |
