EASY oxidation removal that works.

As you know, the engine for the KZ 650B1 project was severely corroded. I was looking up info and ran across this guys video and thought it was worth a try. Bought some Marvels and new scotchbrite pads and went to town. Used hemostats and small squares to reach into the tight places.

It doesnt shine the metal or remove the greyish deep stains but I can tell you it wipes the scale off with just a little elbow grease. Take it to bare clean metal quite easily. I cleaned the entire lower end of the engine in just under 3 1/2 hrs. Next step will be a scrubbing with some degreaser and power wash the engine down. Then its ready for paint. This is the starting point if you hadnt seen the pictures in the other thread. And the guys video....watch the advertisement at the beginning as well. The Spectrachrome looks awesome.

Like putting butter on a dying cat's ass... it ain't gonna hurt!

I'll give it a try on the Litre this weekend!

I did an area and wiped it with paper towels. I didnt bother to detail it as the engines gonna get painted anyway. The Scotchbrite pads made it easier and got it cleaner than the shop rag i tried..just a tip so its easier for you.

Elbow grease works twice as well when liberally applied.

It took some elbow grease Dale. Wasnt as easy as his video shows but it was fast. And it doesnt need spit shined for me. Clean and no oxiidation, degreased. and the paint will never know the difference.
