Removing Rust via Electrolysis - Classic Mini
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Removing rust via Electrolysis works well. As with most methods (Vinegar & most rust removers), Electrolysis does require a nice rub down of the part(s). Cleaning out the engine block of my classic mini is definitely a bit of a task, but well worth it. I want to know that I've done everything possible to clean my 1275 engine block. Reaching those deep cavities within the coolant areas is the hardest part, thus Electrolysis to help.. Lone Star Mini
Don`t you just love science , awesome job Randy you`ve got to be happy with the waterways now ,way better than they were
Thanks Peter, The passageways are definitely much cleaner. Now I have to figure out what needs to be done next on my block.
Great job 👍
thanks Pete.. I'm happy with the process.. now I just have to keep it clean without surface rust developing
Great job Randy what a difference buddy 👍👍
Thanks Tony!! I am quite pleased…
Am sure your really English Randy - because we do crazy things - looks like a new engine x
Crazy things?.. nah.. not I.. Thanks, the engine block really does look quite nice and I'm pleased..
Great job Randy, well done 👍
Thanks Keith!! I’m honored too that you are able to check in once in a while… I’m rather pleased with how clean the block is now..
Top job and one to use on my own engine. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks Tim.. it does work quite well although a good scrub is still required.. I’m rather pleased
looks pretty good to me mate! nice job
Thanks Stu…. The electrolysis actually did a great job, but you can’t discount the vinegar and pressure washing
7:02 that looks sooooo clean, its cleaned up really well.
In truth, it's the WD40 sprayed on it that makes it look so clean and 'pretty' as the dry bare metal looks ugly. I think it's a job well done and I'm happy with it.
@@LoneStarMini I did wonder if you had sprayed wd40 on it and you had....................cheat lol
@@paulrobinson3528 not cheating… protecting….
That looks brilliant Randy, you're doing a great job.
Hey Now Brian, thank you. I am satisfied with the clean, but now I have to figure out how to keep it from rusting because it will be a year before I put it all back together.
Wow! Was really surprised by the results! I didn’t expect it to work that well at all
I am pleased for sure… the challenge now is keeping surface rust from forming while I wait to have machine work done….
Hey Randy, I finally go on! Enjoying your progress.
Hey Now JJ!! The progress is slow, but moving…
@@LoneStarMini Hey Randy, I came across a site that you may be interested in. It’s call “The barn find hunter”. I wish we lived closer so I could lend you a hand when needed. You’re doing an amazing job, proud of you!
Randy, What a difference in the condition of the block from start to finish, With Evans waterless coolant in the system the rust will not come
back as long as the stripped block is dry while it‘s stored. Cheers Dave
Yep.. I will definitely being going with Evans.. it irritates me knowing how easy it is for rust to develop.
Wow, I will have to remember this for later on 👌
well.. you guys can acid dip it which is what I would have done. Not having access to acid baths, I had to do it all myself. I am pleased with it though..
Great idea Randy, why didn't you get it acid washed?
Thanks Dennis, While we don't have the 'acid' baths (illegal) any longer here in the USA, the performance shops do have a chemical bath process. First, I wanted to try a couple methods (vinegar & electrolysis) for my own awareness, but I also knew I would have to scrub a little and I'm not confident any performance center would give the detail to my block as I would. With that said, I will have some machine work done to the engine (dry decking and possibly reworking the cylinder to 1380 if it needs it). At that time, I will allow them to put it through a chemical bath.. therefore my block with hopefully see proper cleaning. Hey.. my daughter is heading your direction for a study abroad program...
@@LoneStarMini wow didn't know that, but you are right in saying that they won't give it the love it deserves. I have finally started my mini journey (first youtube video to) and I get hung up on minor things. I'm sure she will love her trip over here, is she the one that shot my name for the giveaway? Light still going strong by the way 👍 stay safe.
@@denniswellard no.. Devri (our youngest) was the one who shot you (I had to look back). my lights are still strong too and I use them a great deal. Hey.. I just subscribed and will watch your video.. awesome..
@@LoneStarMini thanks
