Default RE: Rusty engine salvage?

Bought a gallon of the Evap-O-Rust at Harbor Freight and tried it on one of the badly rusted Fox .35's. It worked. The piston is free and the compression seal seems good. This engine will run again. I don't know how long it will last given the micro-pitting, but I was happy just to get it free again so I wouldn't have to cut the rod or something dire like that.
