Pitting, eroding around water jackets

Post by gemini90 »

Hi this may sound like a stupid qestion but i have had a engine block sitting on a engine stand
for 2 months and it has pitting around the water jackets and other places around the block
i have regurely coated the block with crc so it dosent rust, but it seems that the erodding or pitting
has gotten worse or its just my eyes, there isint any rust around the pitting but im just woundering if
something alse like electroless some how is causing this not sure.
Thanks

if you want to be rid of it , you'll need to have the block surfaced. I dont think WD40 or similar is a good rust preventative.. My mill gets rust spots even though its coated in the stuff!
Getting too old for this s*#t!!
