Mickly Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I have 10 Dowty washers ( rubber with metal inserts ) that fit under the cam cover bolts on the Trophy.They were caked in a hard residue that I reckon was limescale, replacements are about £5 each.After a bit of research I created a mixture of white wine vinegar and lemon juice & left the washers to stew over night.This morning most of the lime scale had disappeared and what was left could be easily scraped out of the grooves with a cocktail stick.Rinsed and dried - job done Saved myself £50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
