Hi all,
I have just pulled apart my engine. The outside is corroded and needs to be cleaned up. I was going to use a steel brush and then briefly place each casting in an acid bath to get the corroded metal back to its original finish so that it can be repainted. Has anyone ever done this ( i am thinking of using Ammonium Persulphate whivh is used to burn printed circuit boards). The inside of the engine doesn't need machining and i am also thinking that an acid bath will not be a good idea for nicely machined surfaces???
Thanks.
