Not real effective. I'll probably switch to something else in the future.
In "the old days" I could get Safety Kleen products delivered to my home...not sure if they do it anymore, but it's the best product, especially with all the projects you have going. I could have them come on a schedule and change out the drum every month or two based on how much use I was giving it. Not sure if they still do it.

Funny, it was all packaged in red and yellow back then, now it's "green"!

Notice from your parts list that you are replacing a lot of bolts such as the oil pan, fly wheel and timing covers. Is this something needed or are you doing it for ease and low cost insurance?

Appreciate the tip on the Safety Kleen product. Will look into that. The stuff I got from Harbor Freight doesn't really cut it. After I clean each piece, I rinse it with water, then blow dry with compressed air, then hit it with break cleaner to get all the oils that are still present.

I'm replacing critical bolts like for the upper and lower oil pans, rear/front covers and on rotating pieces like the flywheel. I want to ensure I get the right amount of torque and the old bolts, especially the long upper oil pan bolts could have been stretched. The bolts are relatively cheap, so I figured that was cheap insurance. I'll keep the old ones around and add them to my stash of metric bolts

Most of the parts showed up today. I'll inventory everything tomorrow and begin the reassembly process, time permitting.

Definitely!

Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of bolt torque specs? The Bentley manual has some of them, but definitely not all.

Do you have access to TIS? I haven't played with it too much, but they might be in there. You're getting pretty deep into the rebuild, so maybe a standard torque table for the size of the bolts you're using would be handy.

Just sent you an email with a PDF (136 pages) of torque settings. Can't figure how to attach with my iPad.
