    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

is it ok to use very fine grade steel wool to clean up my combustion chamber. I put the spark plugs in and set the head so it was facing upside-down, then filled the combustion chambers with solvent...now i just need to scrub them a little, hence my question.

thanks, Ian
 
Re: ok to use steel wool?

I would have to say NO to that. The small steel fibers get embedded. I would use a coarse scotch brite pad. (you can get one at Home Depot, Automotive stores, or paint stores)

The last time I was at Home Depot I saw Brass Wool which should also work.
 
Brass wool would also make good packing for exhaust cans. Shouldn't burn out like the glass packing. Even a layer of brass followed by the glass should keep from burning out the glass.
