[NSRCA-discussion] Removing crud from exhaust headers

[Bob Richards]

I have not tried that yet, but I have heard it really works. 
 
I have used paint stripper I bought at an auto parts store, comes in a spray can. Mar-Hyde brand, Tal-Strip paint remover. It has the same active ingredient that was in the old Zbest engine cleaner that was sold at hobby shops, methylene chloride.

Ed, I've used a garage-sale crock pot filled with anti-freeze to remove baked on crud like that.  Run it on low and soak the parts overnight, and the crud will be gone.

Is there a chemical that can be purchased that will remove the baked on crud on glow engines and aluminum exhaust headers?  I used something once that was available in a hobby shop and it worked, but it was expensive stuff.  
 
Thanks
Ed
