After the fire the valve cover breather matt melted and I got it all out :thumblef: Can I roll up some steel wool and replace it ? or should I use something els ? What would you recommend I use/ do ?
I planned on using steel wool to do this as well. I'd soak the housing in some Evapo-Rust first.
Yes Ace hardware has it :thumblef: Thank youI think packing it full of steel wool would be fine. Stainless steel wool would be even better (if they make such a thing).
soak it over night in vineger and stir it up once in a while. won't need much brushing after that :thumblef:Will do, I was going to use denatured alcohol and wire brush the chit out of it.
It seems like that was the kind of matt that was in there becoase it melted :shock: It took me forever to get it out.I've used steel wool or the stiff plastic panel air filter material (like goes in a furnace) that looks like Scotch-brite and that seems to work ok too, with the advantage of never rusting...... Kind of a pain getting it in and evened out but once it's close it seems to even itself a bit.
I have heard that before kursplat, even before paining anything galvanized :thumblef:soak it over night in vineger and stir it up once in a while. won't need much brushing after that :thumblef:
Stainless this time SS :thumblef:it will probably work better than what was there. go for it.
Thank you Dude :thumblef: This one is in good shape and I have it soaking in Vinegar now.Mike, after cleaning your cap up (soak it in vinegar like was mentioned....the acid eats the rust away nicely) and if you find it is not in very good shape due to rust pitting or something....let me know, I think I have one sitting in an old pair of 69 318 covers I have sitting out in my garage.
