I will like to know the best and safe method of cleaning these compressors. After stripping down the compressor of all parts what is the method: (1) Clean the parts with an electrically driven wire brush and pouring kerosene to clean all rust and sludge formations.
(2) Dip all compressor parts in a mild acid solution (which one) to remove the acid and sludge.(3) Dip all parts in a heated tri chloro ethylene solution. Exactly how it is done and what method and cleaning liquids are used by the rebuilding companies.
