Of Antifreeze and pistons, (What cleans it off )
To the point, I have a brand new set of pistons here that have been run in a storm of antifreeze.
Perhaps about 14 hours at full load than set about 3 years in the engine on a shelf.
To this point in my life, combustion leaks with H20 intrusion has looked more like a steam cleaning to me.
Now i have on my shop bench what the old guys clalled Black Goo.
These are so gummied up that the piston rings are stuck!
This looks more like silicate mixed with tar and a fair amont of EPOXY.
Its a very long story, but that is the part I would like to solve "How to Salvage these Pistons "?
What will clean this stuff off?
The rest is boring - Experiminatel engine with wet liners were just that- R & D sucked.
More on that in a latter thread.
