Rust Removal: 390 Intake 4 BBL.

[davbell22602]

Here's some of the tools and stuff I used for this process.

A good medium range battery charger. That cheap low range 10/2/50 charger sold at Sears, etc doesnt work for this process because the charger doesnt have enough amps.

Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda

A electrode thats the right size for the size of the item your cleaning the rust off of.

A non metal container thats the right size for the size of item your cleaning the rust off of.

You add one tablespoon of the Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda per every one gallon of water. Make there mixed up well by hand or if you want to use mixer you can.

Here's the before pic of the intake

When I did this intake I used 2.5 cups of Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda to 40 gallons of water.

When I hooked it up I put the positive terminal on the electrode and cleaned spot on the intake that I could clamp the ground to.

When doing this process you want clean electrode. I set my charger on 20 amps. Slower is better. If the amps are set to high it can cause pitting. Also keep checking on it at times. You can even rotate it around too but I didnt do it on this.
