You're probably right about the heat. It would most likely speed up the chemical reaction as it does to most chemical reactions. Agitation would also. But I'm soaking them in plastic buckets so I guess I won't be heating them up. In the long run, it will probably be good to see how the chemicals work in an engine that's just sitting as most engines on this forum seem to do.

As for trying to take apart the pumps and see what I can see, AnnaRae, Pepe, and I are Headed on a three day road trip in Old Henry Thursday for my birthday so further analysis will have to wait until next week. I'll leave the pumps soaking while I'm gone. Hopefully, they'll both be clean when I return.
