11.7.15)Cleaning agents
Clean all parts thoroughly before inspection.
â– ATTENTION:Generally all metal components will be rinsed in a suitable
cleaning agent, with the exception of hydraulic tappets,
pushroids and rocker arms.
On the above mentioned exceptions just let the oil drip off
and wipe with a non-frying rag. At the disassembly compo-
nents were marked to prevent any mix-up. Take care of
these marks, daon't ruin them.
â–² WARNING: Use only approved cleaning agents (e.g. fuel, kerosine,
varsol, etc.) for cleaning metal parts.
Do not use cold cleaner on lye basis or degreasing agents. Do not clean
coolant- and oil hoses with aggressive solutions. Clean off remains of sealing
compound with sealant remover.
Soak combustion chamber, piston and cylinder head with cleaning agent and
remove combustion residues with a bronze brush. Very good experience was
made with CASTROL "Clenvex 2000" as cold cleaning agent on basis of
laboratory fuel and kerosine. It is a solvent - cold cleaner, free of halogen, on
base of selected fuel fractions, and it is biologically disposable.
Never use caustic or corrosive cleaning agents.
â–² WARNING: Proceed with great caution when using solvents. Inhaling of
vapours is hazardous to health.
