well, like it says, is emory paper ok to use on rotor faces? I finally got the engine apart, and the rotor faces are pretty thick with carbon buildup. I have a bunch of 400 grit emory paper, can I get the rotors nice and clean again with it?
|
no one knows?

Before you start trying to sandpaper all that gunk of your rotors I would suggest using some solvent, soap, gasoline or whatever you have available to wash them with. I have used oven cleaner alot in the past......just spray it on and get a good brush and scrub away. It is safe to use sandpaper on the rotors but you don't want to paper the whole darn thing!!
|
oh yea, I know not the whole thing, just the faces. i'll try the gas/solvent first, and if that doesn't get it, then paper it is.
|
Get that nasty solvent that they sell at automotive stores. Just let the rotor sit in it over night and the job should be done for you.
|
Nobody used a toothbrush? Well on mine I used a soft bristle brush I got at autozone.
|
I soak in kerosene, then take a SS wire brush to the rotor to get off the carbon.
|
I soak in gas for a minute to cut through the oil and start brushing with a toothbrush (Oral B seems to hold up well in gas). Then once all the loose stuff is removed, I let the rotors dry for a while. Then I hit them with a fine wire wheel. The faces come out looking great.
|
thanks for the suggestions. I'm gonna try the "nasty" solvent overnight thing.
|
I use a rubber bristled grinding pad on a 90 degree grinder.
