Make sure the compressed air does not have moisture or oil. The compressed air works good drying carb cleaner that has gotten into bolt holes. If you do not have compressed air clean Old T shirts ( or someone elses new one ) will work fine....make sure there is nothing lurking in the bolt holes that will squeeze out when the bolt is threaded in, ruining the job. smash209 New User Jan 11, 2007, 7:03 PM Post #2 of 3 (5708 views) Re: C L E A N gasket surface Sign In Actually... I heard to use brake cleaner instead... carb cleaner leaves a residue, but brake cleaner is made to evaporate without leaving anything behind.

For sealant I use the thinest smear of gasket maker which is really not needed but if you are back there again it makes the job easier, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
