Hello guys.

I´m putting a new crankshaft into my G-62, and since I will have to disassemble the engine to do that, I would like to make it look new at the same time..
Especially the cylinder has collected quite a lot of dead bugs and other crap between the fins.
What do you all recommend I use for cleaning it? Gas, acetone, soap????

I've always just used gasoline. It will cut an oil that has accumulated on there as well.

Kerosene is my favorite!

Thanks... Although I´m not completely sure what Kerosene is. Is it the same that are used for fuel in lamps and heaters? I have once used that for cleaning the rims of my motorcycle, and it seemed to do a good job.

If I can´t find any kerosene I´m going to try regular gas.

Kerosene is petroleum, or lamp oil (the wick lamp type, not the coleman gas bulb type).

Thanks a lot.. I will try that.
