I've done 2 engines, cast iron, in the past with brake fluid and I was successful

Wondering if alloy blocks v/s iron make a difference
Agree and I could add a few. If you have any of those types of chemicals, it's worth a shot. Kind of expensive to be pouring Kroil in the cylinders. But old used motor oil with some solvent would not be my first choice but not my last either. Just needs a catalyst.
