SERIES 60 SERVICE MANUAL Rinsing Bath Provide another tank of similar size containing hot water for rinsing the parts. Drying Parts may be dried with compressed air. To avoid injury from flying debris when using compressed air, wear adequate eye protection (face shield or safety goggles) and do not exceed 276 kPa (40 psi) air pressure. EYE INJURY The heat from the hot tanks will quite frequently complete drying of the parts without the use of compressed air. Rust Preventive If parts are not to be used immediately after cleaning, dip them in a suitable rust preventive compound. The rust preventive compound should be removed before installing the parts in an engine.
Gasket Eliminator Removal The gasket eliminator used on numerous mating surface joints in the Series 60 engine results in a very thin film that must be removed from both surfaces prior to reassembly. As many of the surfaces are aluminum and/or dimensionally critical, conventional scraping methods, or the use of emery cloth for removing gasket eliminator is not recommended. Four-inch, 3M Scotch-Brite® Surface Conditioning Discs, used with an electric or air powered hand drill (with a speed of 15,000-18,000 r/min), have proven successful in removing the gasket eliminator without damaging the mating surfaces of engine parts. See Figure 13.
