i dunno what goo thing is is it sumfin to remove glue?

i do have metho but wont that cut the paint?

shit !!!!! hairdryer...no hairdryer i just chucked it in the bin... 2 weeks go

hot water?? more hot water and metho?

I wouldn't use metho mate, you can damage the paint over time doing that, happened to me after some annoying little s**t spray painted the back of my car with obscenities :D

Maybe just apply heat as suggested and perhaps that big kevs goo remover os something similar?

Eucalyptus oil

You can get it at the chemist and it won't affect the paint. Brilliant for removing just about anything sticky. Saturate some cotton wool and keep wiping. Turn the cotton wool every time it gets gummed up and use a new cotton ball if necessary.

By the time your finished you should have cleared your sinuses as well, hey presto, no more cold :D

cheers guys

btw the glue has hardened.. are u sure it will soften up and come out?

it is no longer sticky everything is like rock hard sh*t....

lol

bit turps never goes astray

Yeh man I used turps on mine and wrecked the duco, my mistake was I was at work and someone had sprayed C**T in huge bright orange letters on the boot of my car, so like an idiot I wiped it off using too much turps and didn't really wash it off all that well... So I had to respray the whole boot :D MAKE SURE you wash it off well if you use turps!!!

mineral spirits will remove any glue residue/oil residue on paint.

Paint has been treated to withstand mineral spirits so there is no risk in using it.

mineral will remove oils off paint, including wax (if you applied any), so best to re-apply wax in the area which was covered in spirits.

Mineral spirits are a low cost version of body shop prep chemicals like Prepsol or Acrysol. They remove wax and other chemicals from the paint surface.

All are safe for cured automotive paint finishes.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
