How to Remove RUST from an Engine Block with 5 Gallons of Evaporust- Safe, Clean, Cheap Derust

Derusting solutions and techniques vary. I found this to be the safest method since Evaporust will not eat metal like some of the other popular methods. There is little to no odor or messy cleaup- which is the number 1 reason I chose this over molasses. With this method is also comes in at a cost of less than $100 so I think it is competitive with the cheap options. There was zero risk leaving it tin too long, so I worked the project around my free-time over the span of 1 week with excellent results!

The bladder bag technique 3:55 is brilliant, a master class! WOW
-
we have just learned how to use that product more effectively.. thank you!

Thanks for coming over to my channel and sending the link of your video to me, I actually had a friend telling me about your video and how well your experiment turned out. I would say it worked out great, and your video is obliviously doing really well with nearly 40,000 views. I enjoyed the video and in my spare time I shall check out more of your stuff, but you earned my sub, let me know if there is anything else I can do brother

Really like how you and your dad seem like great friends👍👍👍

Great tip. I was looking for a good way to clean up the cylinder assembly and miscellaneous other parts from an old riding mower engine. With 2 five-gallon buckets going, your water bath method probably saved me 6 or 8 gallons of vinegar. As Al Green would say, "Simply Beautiful!".

Just fantastic brother. Thank you I am just going to start doing my Chevy 350 that looks just like yours and was going to buy a five gallon pail but I think all I will need is a 3.5 gallon pail. I have a smaller Rubbermaid box container that the block will fit in and with your water trick it will work just fine.

Using the bag with water putting pressure are is genius. What I have to say I enjoyed the most was you and your Pops doing something cool together. Did a few engine swaps with mine when he was alive and made some great memories, even tho there were a few wrenches thrown and I won’t say by whom lol. Keep making those memories bud👍🏻

Brilliant! I was about to slather some Naval Jelly on some bumper brackets because I only have a gallon of Evaporust but now I'm going to use a trash bag and a 5 gallon bucket!
-
Thanks for sharing the idea... can use for a lot of things, including in the ultrasonic cleaner.
-
Pure Genius with your water trick 👍🏻
-
Evapo-Rust is great stuff. Use it myself. Totally reusable, too. Before I put it back, dip a magnet in to pick up all the ferrous debris.

Jeezus.. I tried so hard with the vacuum bag method.. this is so much easier and so much better.. thanks dude 👍..

So, i really like this idea of how to make the product go further!! My suggestion tho would be to add the product into the garbage bag before you add the water to the outside. I think that this will help reduce the chances of the "pockets" where the product wasn't able to touch the block. I'm not 100% sure of this though, as i have yet to try it myself. Just thought that putting the water in first is giving the water the chance to create those little "pockets"

Nice video, this showed me that the product does work and how to save some money also, thank you.
-
My bad. I didnt mean to send that last comment just yet 😆 but anyways that is my input on your idea... Thank you for making this video!! I do believe that it will help many people get the most out of what they have, which will in turn, save them money!! Thank you!!!

Would love to see the cylinders sleeves once the machine shop is finished, which I guess would be the proof this works if the bores are usable. Interesting thank you 🙏
-
Great idea with the water outside the bag to limit the area of the bucket.
-
Smartest thing I have seen in months!!!!
-
Great video... Great idea using the water and bag to maximize the use of the Evapo-Rust. Why did you use coffee cans in the cylinders? Evaporators-Rust wouldn't hurt the cylinders.
-
Interesting video. I would suggest you remove the cam bearings and oil galley plugs next time before dipping.
