Hi Folks,
I have started pickling a rusty head and block in white vinegar, The results have been very good so far, It has been very good at removing rust from inside the block and head, I have been wire brushing to help remove the residue, A pressure washer is great at blasting the water passages clean, Goggles are a Must ! Once the head was clean I have soaked it with Duck Oil as the clean surface will form surface rust very quickly.
The block has been in its bath for a week now, I am hoping that the White Vinegar has permeated down the stud threads so that removal will be easy.
I will report back.
