I normally use isopropyl alcohol for checking chamber and port volumes, can't seem to buy any right now, what else works?

Jim... COORS LIGHT or I've used the blue windshield washer fluid, it cleans up easier. MB

Windshirld waster fluid. It's cheap, easy to find, and a gallon will last you for ever. The winter -40 type the summer stuff is more of a soap and can foam up.
