Machinefags, what is the best method for making sure female threads are clean and free of anti-sieze compound or loctite? I don't think any of the threads I'm dealing with have been damaged at all so I don't know if sending a tap through them is necessary, but is that a solid solution? I also thought about brushing them with a bore brush using a light solvent and then blowing/vacuuming them out.
