Best rust solution?

Well counsellor, considering your single track approach of labeling the offender as rust to the exclusion of all other possible offenders begs many questions. Did you perform any forensic tests to determine my clients (respectively referred hereto as "calcium and lime") were not present at the scene? Additionally, with respect to the condition of your water pump inlets based on your latest photos, your accused suspect's actions did not originate from this scene evidenced by the lack of pitting. Is it likely my clients "calcium and lime" were there --and possibly now everywhere throughout your entire cooling system IN ADDITION to your suspect who is leaving deposits on top of their crime thus disguising their presence. This is organized crime plain and simple!! Wouldn't I make a crappy defense lawyer? I just sold out my clients!!

The only "forensic" tests I performed to determine what the "warts" were made of was to first test them with very small magnets to see if they were iron or some other non-ferrous mineral and then scrape a sampling to examine and test. Both tests were sufficient "forensically" to established the total absence of your clients, Cal See-um and Lie M., at the scene of the crime.

Sorry, your clients will not be going down the river, nor up the river either for that matter. They'll just be fishing from the shore.

I wander if a block heater for heat and a eletric motor to spin the water pump every once in a while would help these processes?

As I've said before, both heat and agitation would speed up the process but that's all. It is not necessary and would not otherwise make it any more effective in the long run. The Evapo-rust would eventually finish its job whereas the vinegar loses its acidity and quits before it's done.

Here's a photo of the rust wart remaining in the vinegar pump stuck to the magnets I scraped it off with. (The clear spots are where my fingers were.)

Thank's Henry... been considering it for an engine flush.
