Ls1 Engine Build Mineral Spirits

With all threads in the block inspected and cleaned as needed, it's time to give the block a thorough washdown. These two types of solvent (normally used in paint prep) will come in handy for our purposes as they work very well at cleaning metal. Mineral spirits will be used for general cleaning of the block and all metal components we install, and the more-potent 100 percent virgin acrylic lacquer thinner will be used to clean the cylinder walls just before we install the pistons.
