replacing oil screen gauze

[Ian Williams]

I took one engine apart where a past owner had glued the gauze on with Silicone, I would not recommend that though it was a horrible mess! Soldering is not hard once you get the technique right, everything must be spotless, wire wool and a stainless brush are good for cleaning, heat the frame rather than the gauze, use a good flux but wash it off and neutralise the acid otherwise the steel will rust as Tony has found out!
