Thanks Roger maybe that's much easier than creating a whole new threadRoger wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 3:12 pmThe description of this forum does include tips:
Happy to rename the forum if it makes sense and call it Tips & Traps or something like that.The Good and the Bad
Best practices and Useful tips and warnings that can save property, prevent injury and to keep our modelling safe.
Now why did I not think of that.... Align Trex600, Electric, Nitro and Gas. Nitro engines, O.S.Max, Saito, Petrol Engines Only DLE 55-111-120, Mintor38cc. Hobby King Red Head Pulse Jet. Gold Wing 100cc Edge 540T, 100% JR XG11, No Contest,No Regrets. Build, Fly, Have fun.

Took them down and cleaning them.
The problem is that I used to mix my own fuel Methanol and CASRER OIL
I can not turn the engines (Caster oil went hard )
Soaked it in Mogas, ll100 y7ou name it
Last retaught dump it in a sort of car engine cleaner , it work MAAAR ate the rubber and dis culler the hole engine
My question is there something ells I can use and secondly how can I get the engine back to the shiny aluminium state again
I done it to my OS 40 FSR but do not want to do the same treatment to my OS 60 FSR rear exhaust motor and the Tartan twin or any of the other 4
PLEEEES help
