I have six recirc valves from a parts engine that I want to clean up and keep for spares. Four of them test OK and two are blocked. All of them have at least some hardened residue on the screen which I would like to clean off.
What solvent will break down the deposits but not damage the internal valve?
I was considering soaking one of the non-functional valves in some Techron which I happen to have on the shelf and see what happens.
I don't want to use carb cleaner unless it's a last resort. I don't know if the strong solvent will damage the valve.
I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.
