chaos Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Ok I'm hoping this will be in the correct area for this question, but I'm trying to find a way to remove the yellow sealant or varnish that gets on the head without pulling it all apart and blasting it. Any input would be helpful and if need I can get photos of it monday afternoon. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 If it's off the engine just use acetone and rag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yep, Acetone strips lacquer based metal sealants. If it's internal, just about any solvent will do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yellow varnish that GETS on the head, as opposed to deliberately applied at assembly? Just checking, are you sure you aren't talking about baked on oil from a leak somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I hope it's not oil, just got the engine back together on the stand...but ya it's a yellow fluid that wouldn't come off in the hot tank or brake cleaner and a few other attempts. I'll post a few photos tomorrow if I can find out how to do so on mobile. Yellow varnish that GETS on the head, as opposed to deliberately applied at assembly?
