John Ulrich gave me this tip:
If everything is apart and clean, the engine and transmission cases can
be treated with Sodium Silicate and then baked in the oven. The product
tends to remain in the pores, thus helping to prevent future stains.
BTW, do this when your wife/SO is away from the house for numerous
hours. It will stink up the oven and the house and you will need to air
everything out. Your wife will be none to0 happy if she arrives home
early. Don't ask me how I know this :>

What work's best? I've read some about Eagle 1, but nothing that says which one of the E1 products would be most appropriate. Also I really don't want to use anything that requires me to have to spray a lot of water on the casings until I'm ready to tear them down and go through the innards (Phase 2), unless someone knows some good hints to keep water from getting into where it shouldn't go. I tried every flipping can of chemical warfare out there and was never satisfied. The only thing that made the cases look great was Pyrex glass bead blasting. Now, everybody says that the little pieces get stuck in the motor....bull. Blast it while its together making sure breather is covered, and wash the hell out of it! |
