Pulling the engine for new freeze plugs

I had a feeling you would end up rebuilding her after I read your first post :) Hope all goes well!

Hold on there. I'm on a budget still thinking about putting the old pistons back in with a hone, new rings, and bearings. I have done that once before on a standard 273 and it worked out pretty well.


On that thought here is another question is there any media I can use in my blast cabinet that will clean up the pistons without ruining them? Was thinking soda or walnut might work.
