I've been having good results using oxalic acid on rusty parts thanks to recommendations on 'ere.
I've got a good block that I am stripping down to check everything and I don't want to remove the bronze guides for tappets and valves.
I've taken the core plugs out and the side outlet is off... and I'm now realising that its going to be difficult sealing all the holes to "fill it up" with cleaning solution.
In the past, I've sealed up everything so the clean is internal.
What would the effect on studs, good bores (a couple of dark stains only) and bronze guides be if I were to soak the entire block with everything in place? Inadvisable?
