alternative to nitro cleaner
I am going to seal my engine. I have everything but nitro cleaner in a can. Is there something else such as mineral spirits that I can use to clean up everything while I have it apart?

Any light alkane solvent should degrease the metal effectively without harming rubber or plastic components. Look for non-chlorinated brake cleaner products that list compounds like hexane or heptane on the label.
Perchloroethylene based brake cleaner will work as well, but be prepared to deal with one of the most nauseating odours you've ever experienced.

simple green, best stuff on earth, use it strait to degrease car engines, or dilute it down enough to clean glass.
