[QUOTE="69ST, post: 175764, member: 5"] Mineral spirits leave a light, oily, residue eliminating the need for WD40. I give everything a shot of Brakleen, followed by motor oil, at assembly time. That's not strictly necessary, since mineral spirits are petroleum-based. The parts can be dried using compressed air, then oiled and installed. If they're going to sit for some time, they can just be oiled & installed. That's standard procedure in shops that rebuild engines, transmissions and differentials. The minute quantity of residue will dissipate with oil. With an engine, it's all gone with the first oil change. The big advantage of a parts washer is the stream of clean solvent, plus that dry platform. If you're meticulously bagging every part, may as well just oil everything and save yourself a step, imho... [/QUOTE]
