Recently there was a thread about block cleaning that referred to something call Never Rust or Ever RUst, or something like that.
I'd like to find that thread if anyone remembers it?
Thanks
Jim

Tried EVAPORUST, it works but you really need to find somebody who bead blasts the whole bloc. Local guy does it and the results are like a new blck $80

Once I know a block is good I literally dig out all of the sand that's still in the blocks, vacuum, and flush - 5-6 times at least. I normally take out a gallon pail of sand or more in each and every block I've done. No wonder why these engines o-heated in the old days.

Then I would take them to the shake and bake as Cpt John says - comes out as clean as a baby's behind .. like new literally!

If you don't mind explaining...what type of tools/methods do you use to remove the sand in the block?

Another trick is to get some 1/8" cable, chuck it into a drill, and go down into each water jacket hole from the deck, and also thread it into the water pump holes. Use a slow speed so it doesn't climb back out and slap you in the face.

As to tools, long screwdrivers, welding rod, or anything of the sort that will reach down and scratch well.
