 |

Well, I put the rear case into a tub of water and baking soda, with some electric and it removed the rust really well. I was able to disassemble the piece with ease! It worked so well, that I went down and bought a 45 gallon tub and just finished hooking everything up. I have 6 electrodes in the tub and it is bubbling really good. I will leave it in there overnight and part of the day tomorrow. Then I will see if she will come apart! I have soaked with oil, beat with a hammer and a 2 X 4 for 2 days and nothing has moved! It is solid. So, I am hoping that this will get everything lose enough for me to disassemble the engine. The rear case bolts just had no rust on them, nor did the plate on the bottom. They came out really easy. The one I had started to remove when it was rusted, had a twist in it, so I am glad I stopped and waited. This engine is the worse of the 2, so if works on this one, this should work for anyone! I will let you know in a day or so if it worked. Sure beats trying to fill that tub up in oil!
