Re: Restoring Rusty
Your post about RTV sounds like you are using way to much lol.
When I put the intake on my truck I put just enough rtv on the head side so the gaskets would stick and then bolted it down. For the china walls a good 1/4" bead down the walls and up the heads was all I did. But before I did all that I ensured 100% that all surfaces were clean using acetone and smooth by using 120 grit sandpaper. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
I've had good results sealing China walls on a couple of engines with "The Right Stuff" made by Permatex. I got the aresol can which makes application a bit easier than the roll up tube.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I've never used POR but every time I see it online it looks great - I've got to get some and try it.

I was wondering if it dries different over shinny clean metal vs rusty sections, or paint covered sections, I don't know. Though I did check some parts that were same surface ie clean metal and it still dried shinny in one area and flat in the other. I even called POR15 the company and told them about this issue, and they basically said sometimes it just does that. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Must have something to do with the way it flashes. Looks good either way.

Re: Restoring Rusty
after soaking the hinges in a large toperwear bin and some diluted muriatic acid with water for a couple days, I dried them off and washed them off with denatured alcohol, then rattle canned them flat black

Re: Restoring Rusty
Every time I pull something off to work on the truck and start knocking the rust and grime off of it I think, "What would Gregski do?".....and then I give up after cleaning for a second or two...ha ha. I am impressed with your attention to detail.

Trust me I want instant results too, I am a lot of things but a patient man I am not. I also have a tough time focusing trust me, I want to do 7 things at once all the time, but I say Rusty teach me patience. LOL In this case I took the hood off and said this will be it, I will not mess with anything else. Then I said ok, one hinge comes off cause I have to take the fender off anyway. Then I said shoot I can't do one hinge and leave his brother dirty and rusty, that's in human. In the end the only thing I did not remove was the hood latch hookie thingie in the front cause those bolt heads were not quite 1/2 inch type but some star looking thingies so I said enuff this stays on, LOL |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Greg, get your buckets mineral spirits and muriatic acid, load up Rusty, head up the I-5, over to I-80, up Hwy 93 and over to I-84....Rusty's cousin, Greasy, needs some love.
Great job on the hinges.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hah!!! I am a lot closer. Just hop on the 80 south to 37 west then 101 north. Mine is neither rusty or greasy. But with your attention to detail, my truck and me would enjoy it immensely.
