So "mineral spirits" is the same?


Many (too) many years ago, we used a mix of Gunk and
Kerosene;
about 1 part Gunk to 5 parts Kerosene. Didn't have
EPA in
that time so there wasn't a restriction on disposal of
the
cleaning mixture and the residue from the cleaning.

We would spray the engine with the cleaning mix, leave
set 15
to 20 minutes then wash the engine down with straight
water.
