Re: Bringing THUMPER Back To Life PROJECT
Another vote for brake cleaner. I've probably used a truckload in the time I've owned this car.

Re: Bringing THUMPER Back To Life PROJECT
As strange is it might sound, I use WD40. Just spray on, let is sit for a bit.. start wiping or brushing, spray on some more, repeat till your happy. It's amazing what WD40 will remove.

Re: Bringing THUMPER Back To Life PROJECT
I'll try a little of everything mentioned to get the motor clean. It seems that someone used Simple Green?

On mine, I used a pressure washer (2600psi IIRC) after spraying the worst areas with simple green and letting it sit for a bit.
