well engine is apart... again

and im going to clean it tomorrow. my underrstanding is that you dont want to use brake clean on the crank because you dont want to remove all the oil from it am i right? opinions on how you clean it? OH and instead of starting a new thread ill just ask here. im looking for a IP to send to giles but im not sure of the part number of which one is the best to give him because my understanding is that there are a few different ones? If you have any answers i would appreciate it. thanks

I don't know on the IP, I am sure he has enough new parts to make it shine no matter what it is though

I used brake clean on mine. I would rather clean it good and put the oil back on then not get it clean enough. I used that ultra slick engine assembly lube. Should be all good for you.

For a 1.6 you will want a pump with fast idle and light load. 95% of the time if it has fast idle and is a Canadian pump then it will also have light load.

Almost all the mk2 pumps have these features.
