On two stroke exhausts we used to burn the oil off first with a blow torch. Yep that's exactly what we used to do in the day. But it you send your two stroke ex to a plating company they will soak it in hot caustic for day's, Maybe a week,They must be clean before they will put them in the tanks. |
