RE: Rusty engine salvage?
EVAP-O-RUST is now available at Harbor Freight for $20.00 a gallon. I picked up another gallon last week.
I have acquired several engines over the years that were rusted to the point that nothing seemed to work at cleaning them up. I put the engines away and forgot about them. Earlier this year I pulled the engines out, disassembled them as much as I could, and soaked them in Evap-O-Rust for 48 hours. ALL OF THE RUST DISAPPEARED. I was able to salvage the engines and get them running quite well.
