Evaporust by the barrel?
Today, I de-greased, hosed off, and blew dry the 340 bare block and two bare cylinder heads (and a new radiator overflow bracket that rusted while sitting in the shipping box too long). Dropped the parts in an empty 55 gallon drum. Heated some water and mixed 9 jugs (45 gallons) of warm water with 1 jug (5 gallons) of molasses. Covered the parts with the sweet mix and now I plan on letting them sit in that bath for the next 30 days. Check back here on or about January 9, 2018.
