Tim, check out this web site for sodium silicate. A gallon will be
enough to do 20 Guzzi engines, but that is the smallest quantity
available.

Of course I don't have any idea what sodium silicate is or if it is used in any other type of household product that I may be familiar with. I noticed that I had much better results on the engine case. The timing gear cover and oil pan really didn't brighten as well. Probably a different alloy of aluminum. |
