Guys:
I have become a real fan of the POR-15 product line based upon my experience rebuilding a 1949 Plymouth gas tank which, I believed, was beyond hope. Thanks to POR-15, it turned out great!
The middle stage of the process involves a reusable rust remover and inhibitor called Metal Ready. This stuff is amazing in its ability to remove and totally prevent rust. A couple of weeks ago, I treated the parts of my CMB which have considerable iron content with Metal Ready to prevent that surface rust that happens to the crank end and the intake rotor. I just can’t be comfortable with even surface rust in my engines. Of course I raced this weekend and afterwards, I filled the motor with Deep Creep, an engine fogging oil. But Monday, I went into the hospital overnight and did not get to tear the engine apart. Today, Wednesday, I finally broke it down to get everything cleaned out. Normally, I could expect to see some signs of surface rusting- especially inside the rotor drum- but I found none. The motor was immaculate inside. Treating the crank and rotor seemed to have no effect on the running or power output at all.
I think this stuff is the real deal. Perhaps you know of other, better products, but I cannot see how one could improve upon this outcome. This morning I pulled my cable (brand new before this last race) and discovered that when I degreased and cleaned it, I was already getting some red-brown crap coming out of the center. So I took a piece of 1/2 inch brass tube, dropped the cable in, taped it up to seal things, and filled it with Metal Ready. That sucker is done with rusting!
Just a heads up. This is really good stuff. You ought to give it a try.
