Actually I use dental floss to clean engine fins on the tiny ones.

About the same time, I also found a NIB .020 muffler assembly. “Hmmm,” I thought, “I also have an aluminum .049 tank extension collecting dust somewhere on the premises.” I decided it might be cool to try and assemble nearly identical engines; one an .020 and the other an .049. I cleaned and polished the parts and sent them Mark Boesen for anodizing. He nailed the color I wanted and sent them back post-haste. The result was two engines that I think turned out okay. I have no intention to run the engines. These were more for show and fun. Besides, except for the extensions, they’re just stock engines.

Awwww COOL! Very good job! If you took individual pictures of them without their glow heads, I would have had some trouble telling them apart!
