    Great video! Hydrochloric acid, AKA muriatic acid, works very well to remove rust. It also readily dissolves aluminum, such as pistons. I use it to remove smeared on aluminum from burned pistons in the cylinders of performance 2 cycle engines that use iron sleeves. I believe that year chevy truck used cast iron pistons rather than aluminum.

    Sounds good! Looks like someone replaced the engine at some point, the old Chevy 216s and 235s had 10 mm "peanut" spark plugs (pre 1948 or 49) AC 104 or 106, and the early carbs were made by Carter. I have a 1942 Chevy one and a half ton i need to unstick, it has an Allis-Chalmers power unit and hammermill mounted on the back, some lady had it put together years ago for going farm to farm to custom grind feed. Not sure what year the GM Rochester carbs were started, I'm thinking 1947. Keep up the great videos!

    • @tacoheadmakenzie9311
      @tacoheadmakenzie9311 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They didn't go to the 8MM plugs until '41. You're right about the Rochester model B carburetor; 1950 was the first year for them, although Rochester made replacement carburetors for the early engines back to 1932.

    A little trick I learned years ago is if you have a cylinder that has pits in it you can fill them with 2 part cold weld and it will work just fine. Make sure you fill it flush with the cylinder wall before it sets up and gets hard. It is much easier to build it up than bore it out so do not over fill.
