Narve N Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Have you considered vaporblasting? These pistons are NOS but were very dirty with stuck rings after 90 years of storage, came out as new with everything fresh after light blasting with glassbeads and water.

BlueDevil Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Narve, The PO of my 72 roadster had one of those vapor blasters. He used it on the hub caps and they turned out great. No room in the shop for new toy. I will have to stick with my ultrasonic cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Here is a rod that had the piston end soaked in Evaporust (ER) then put in an ultrasonic cleaner in Simple Green solution. You can see where the ER worked on the rod, just need to submerge the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
