I first off want to thank everyone that has helped me along the way with this headgasket replacment. I usually would hand it off to someone else due to my schedule but I figured if they could do it, so could I with help from the DTR group. I'm now waiting on my head and have the block surface cleaned up. I was wondering prior to gasket install, what cleaner do I use on the final wipe down. I think that the Break Kleen leaves a residue and I don't want this gasket to fail. Any tips on a final prep cleaner/solvent?

 

Electrical contact cleaner. No Flash by LPS is awesome if you can find it. Its industrial use only, so might be hard to come by. The quicker it evaporates, the better IMO.

 

I think Gregg Distributors carries LPS, maybe it was Acklands...

 

Brake clean and electrical cleaner leave no residue. Carb cleaner does, however.

 

I typed in www.LPS and bought it from company.
