I have been happy using boiled linseed oil.   The rags will combust so lay them flat somehwere safe.

> At Portland over the years, I asked a few of you what you clean your original (unrestored) engines with. The answer I remember hearing most was diesel fuel; after getting off the worst of the crud and dirt by gentle scraping. But, because I have early onset CRS , I am not sure of that answer. Does that sound right?
