Re: Parts Cleaner Suggestions

I bought a cheap ultrasonic cleaner from Amazon. It works well enough. The best thing I found though is a 5 gallon bucket and some drain cleaner. Drain cleaner contains caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) which will remove most grease, dirt etc. When I worked for an earthmover we used that to clean all engine parts and such after a tear down so everything was nice and clean to rebuild.

A word of warning - use rubber gloves and wash everything really well when you pull it out of the solution. It can burn through your skin.
