Just a word of caution with the CRC. I Used the contact cleaner doing a prewar motor from a 158 and had the bright idea of applying the stuff with the motor running. The sparks started the stuff on fire when I was spaying. It is funny after the fact and fortunately nothing was destroyed except for my pride
Poppi, are you doing a complete rebuilt (repaint)? Could you post pictures?
