gordon_dunn Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Finally got round to inspecting the cylinder of my Miniplane Top 80, just a little coking on the head, and I'd like to take it off. Got most of it off with a petrol soaked rag, and light scraping with a plastic strip, but any better ways of doing it? I'm soaking it in petrol overnight to try and loosen it a bit further.

Lee Jackson Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I do mine exactly how you've described Alan... the fizzy coke option is interesting. A bit tricky to soak the piston though - without full removal. LJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just before I left the army, civilians where escorted around the camp – then they took over the messes, cook house, more administrate roles and now even guard the barracks.
