LF: mineral spirits to clean protective oil coating off ; WTK:grinding down new bucket tappets for valve clearance?

[viper1]

Good day guys I am looking for mineral spirits...where can I purchase it?need to get today or tmr for the latest...would any hardware store carry this?need it to clean the oil off of some aftermarket cams I bought.
And just another question do all the valve tappets need to be changed to their original sizes for proper valve clearance or do I first need to measure the current valve clearance and make the appropriate calculations for the sizes to purchase? It's the bucket type not hydraulic lifters.
Vehicle is an evo x. Cams are kelford 214-b stage 2.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Cant use acetone on the cams?

brake part cleaner would work
for bucket tappets, you need to measure each set and work out what thickness shims to use to get the right clearance

Use turpentine substitute or paint thinner. Even better results if you use citric degreaser because it's nonflammable, nontoxic and water soluble.

thanks guys went with the brake cleaner....

now next thing was going to do exactly what u said for the thickness as new ones must be used but went with my mechanic's advice and just bought the sizes stamped at the bottom of each bucket but now he has to shave them down to get the proper clearance...seeing these aren't adjustable or use shims is this ok to perform as from what i've read the first 20 mins are the most important time for cam and new bucket tappets

no clue abut shaving down bucket tappets. I guess it would depend on how much meat you have to work with. Just make sure whoever does the work shaves them dead square and flat
