As promised...here are some details of my afternoon of acid..

The cylinders and heads from the KH were about as filthy as any I've ever seen. So, take one kitty box and fill with concrete floor etch (phosphoric acid). Give 'em a dip and scrub with tooth brush..nice cool rinse with water, viola!

Wow big difference Ian the results look fantastic.

Was there much fumes coming off of them when cleaning. Using acids
to clean things can cause permanent lung damage. That would be my only concern though.

browney out

	I am not addicted I just don't feel like quiting, because they are cheap and easy to work on!!!

I've got some stuff that needs cleaned ... Perhaps it would be a good idea to give them a quick bath in baking soda to neutralize the acid ? Just in case ... Darth

Sure looks good.... and easy. What to do with the leftovers?
