Anybody have a favorite elixir to remove crud from an engine's water jacket?
It's a PH1 type Petteroid that was used by a local Amish to run a milking machine. The engine was more air cooled than water cooled as the cylinder head coolant passages were blocked.
The only reason the engine survived years of abuse. Is that the milking was completed in only 20-30 minutes and the engine shutdown before overheating and seizing.
The head had been hot tanked at the local engine shop. Then I've hammered and picked out then sand blasted all the crud that can be reached. The stuff is in there in layers like tree rings.
I assume the crud is a baked mixture of Barrs Leak and minerals/dirt from the livestock watertrough.
