I'm going to give this a whirl on the SuperCoupe manifolds! Thanks bud. Any updates on how they held up? Either way, as long as I get the current rust off I win.😊
Howdy. Up to 2000 miles now and they still look good. Here is a photo from about 700 miles: www.wranglerforum.com/threads/2005-lj-the-marathon-build.2056737/page-2?post_id=35446585&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-35446585 They still look the same.
@@dropzonemedia7811 Maybe use an electrolysis bath with a 12V battery. I've used that extensively with great results on many restorations, but never on a manifold. I may try it here soon with my tractor.
I think I might try it. The 5 weeks I'm sure is for a stupid amount of rust... If you have less you can probably get them decent in less time... Try it out
The salt in the vinegar and salt mixture for rust removal serves a couple of important functions: 1) Electrolyte Enhancement: Salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water to produce ions, which increases the conductivity of the solution. This enhances the ability of the acidic vinegar (acetic acid) to interact with the rust (iron oxide) and facilitate its breakdown and removal. 2) Abrasive Action: The salt particles can also act as a mild abrasive when scrubbing the rusty surface. This helps to physically dislodge rust particles, making the chemical action of the vinegar more effective. In summary, the salt enhances the chemical action of the vinegar and can also help physically remove rust through abrasion.
They are still on my shelf. I am getting the engine ready on a run stand now (video will be coming...), but it will still be a little while before I get the restored manifolds installed. So the jury is still out...
Still on the parts shelf. I am inching closer to installing them. On one of the Jeep forums the name of my build thread is "The Marathon Build". It is definitely not a sprint.
I'm dying too! I have been inching closer to actually installing the Hemi in my Jeep (see other videos on this channel). So for today, they still look great sitting on my parts shelf.
I have some off a 69 Trans Am. Also, are they required to soak for 5 weeks or will a few days be good enough? If not I'll try evapo rust. Just trying to put them up for sale so I can buy more auto parts lol.
I can report that they are shelf stable. 😀 They still look great. I am looking good for completing the engine swap in the next 3 months, so the real test will be soon.
Wow what a massive difference, awesome job mate
I use calcium and lime remover submerged for 7 days and they look brand new for paint!
Your video helped me a lot preciate it it's in the bucket bubbling up now
didnt know the penny cleaner trick was as good as high priced rust chemicals! Great video!
Great job, sir! Very helpful video, and educational from my standpoint.
How do the headers look now? You should post a video.
Good video very informative, thank you for sharing.
Set a deal with Shakespeare Bravo mate Bravo
Thanks bro!

@@Rollout001 that's awesome!
The vinegar and salt seems like a good solution but... five weeks?
😂 same thing i said damn. I need a one day solution. Plus im not removing mine from the exhaust

Salt causes rust
great job! thankz
Guess I will need the full 5 weeks too, because after 24 hours nothing has happened. Salt not even dissolved in the 5% vinegar
Did this process also clean the the carbon build up inside?
Did you check the ports for flatness?
The salt confuses me. I'd be curious to know the chemistry behind it. Your tub of used vinegar and salt looks like my used tub of molasses and water.

Back from the future .They hold up ????
Is there an update video???

How did they hold up ?
I use Silver VHT paint as it looks close to OEM.
And wanna know how you deal with that big amount of the waste vinegar?
Just dump it. It's not hazardous.
Well how did they hold up
Great video ,how did they end hold up?
They are still on my shelf. I am getting the engine ready on a run stand now (video will be coming...), but it will still be a little while before I get the restored manifolds installed. So the jury is still out...
Rollout 1 how’s the project going

@@Rollout001 cool! Maybe comment here after a while and keep me posted? Good luck with the build! ✌🏻
Do it have to sit for 5 weeks?
Probably not. I just set them aside to soak and ignored them for a while. Nuts and bolts usually clean up in a day.
C'mon mate, we're dying to know, how'd they hold up?

This method is slow. Inexpensive, non-toxic, but slow. I don't think a few days would be enough.
@@Rollout001 Oh ok. I greatly appreciate your reply!
What do you put to clean for it?
Salt RUSTS metal! Don't listen to him- he's pranking you!!! 💢💢
Wouldn't water create more rust
Sure would if you didn't do something with them. I dried them off and painted them.
It will burn straight off
Update
Just use vinegar, salt doesn't do anything that helps
Tastes better.
