[SEL] Engine Cleaner?

[Larry Evans]

Gus...

You are right that oven cleaner does a great job on heavy dried out grease 
but it definitely should NOT be used if you are trying to preserve the 
original paint under the grease.  I'm in the process of cleaning up a 1918 
IHC M 1-1/2 hp. that is going to be repainted anyway so I have been using 
oven cleaner on the heavy stuff and find that it takes paint off better 
than most of the commercial paint strippers on the market.  It has been 
doing a great job on the grease.  You can buy it by the gallon where 
commercial cleaning supplies are sold much cheaper than the spray cans 
available in the market.
