Re: [Amc-list] TELL ME THERES HOPE!!! (doubtful)

After you've rinsed it out thoroughly spray some of that expensive PB
blaster around to protect the metal and let it sit in the sun to bake the
remaining moisture out, or take a hair dryer to it to speed up the drying.
clean unprotected metal starts rusting real fast.

> well, got the head out on the sidewalk and put the pressure washer to
it... VERY suprisingly, it dont look bad at all. even the chanbers cleaned
up real good. minor chunking left in there. no big pits, or serious damage
to be found yet. only thing i cant see very well are the valve seats and
stems. with a hammer, lightly tapping on the valve stem heads, all but 3
move freely. so i left those 3 stuck open, and soaked them in pb blaster. i
just found in one of my cupboards in the shop i have an entire gasket set
for the 196. will pop the valve springs off, and replace with the valve
seals i got. just the little hat type. dont know how well they work, but
better than whats NOT there anymore im sure. cant even see the lifters. so
much of that junk from the head slid down the pushrod valley and covered the
lifters.

> yes there is oil in the bottom end. i think the bottom is ok, just the
cylinders and rockers were rusted pretty bad.

> im wondering what its going to hurt, when i drain the oil, pull the thing
out in the diveway so i can use my BIG buckets. (up on ramps) and run water
down the lifter valley and all. rinse all that junk out of the bottom of
it?? hey, whats it going to hurt?? it already has all that rust in there, so
i dont think im going to be making it any worse??
