rusty block

[BILL WILLIAMSON]

WHITE Vinegar will make it squeaky clean and is cheaper than Evapo Rust. Put your block in a plastic tub pour in enough WHITE vinegar to cover it and let it sit for a day. Pour your vinegar back in the bottles and save it for later use.

Yep, Chris, save it!! At Ralph's alternator/generator/starter shop, he had cans of "Acetone" & "USED Acetone" He's cheep too!!
"Maybe" if you were worried about babbitt damage, you could coat the babbitt, heavily, with HEAVY grease???? Bill W.

You're on to me.
Besides rust is just iron. We all need more iron in our system.
