DESCRIPTION
ENGINE - NEW GASKET REMOVER/CLEANER SERVICE TIPS FOR ALUMINUM HEADS AND BLOCKS
Gasket removal, especially on multi-layered steel (MLS) head gaskets may leave behind a residue that is difficult to remove from the sealing surface. Effectively immediately, two new cleaning products are released to the field for use in removing gasket and oil residue from aluminum cylinder heads. These products are available and are recommended whenever a cylinder head is removed from the engine. The purpose of these cleaners is to ensure a safe cleaning process is available which will not threaten the integrity of the sealing surface of the head.
