I am working with my dad on his Stover CT-2 gas engine and the head and water hopper are FULL of what I believe to be hardness, dried up concrete, and mud. The stuff is VERY hard. You have to scratch and scrape it all out with a screwdriver or even chisel it with the screwdriver.
Is there something you can do to dissolve this crud? I know if there is that much in the water jackets that we can see there has to be just as much under the cylinder and in the corners that we can't see. I thought about muratic acid, but that seemed like an iffy idea. Any thoughts are appreciated.
