I used a rust converter product throughout the block. It went on clear and then turned everything black

I took the block out and power washed it. It flash-rusted, of course, but the block was cleaned.

The EvapoRust solution worked really well. It cleaned just about all the rust that was within the water jackets (not shown here).

I slushed it around to ensure that the EvapoRust solution got into all the crevices. If I were to do it again, spend the money and get 20 gallons and submerge the whole block in the solution.

The block back from the machine shop. Not so healthy looking. The water jackets had quite a bit of rust.
