Talk about timing.
I had two heads built up waiting to finish up the short block and had an issue with the crank. Heads sat almost a month and got flash rust on them.
Took them apart and soaked them in a plastic tote and the Evaporust made them good as new.

Been using Evaporust for around 10 years now. Stuff works great. My suspension parts come out looking like this from a 5 gallon container of the product. Get your parts clean of all the grease and grime, with the cleaning solution of your choosing, and let them soak.

Parts soaked in sunlight come clean faster. I never heard that one about Evaporust before. Why would that be? Guess i'm never going to find out, as i soak out parts overnight, then into the morning, if need be.

Anybody use the molasses method? I think it's supposed to work faster when heated.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I've used Evaporust for years and years, it's awesome. I just bought another 13.2 litre pail today for $59.99 Canadian.

Evaporust contains acid. Acid will eat rust first, but will also start to eat metals after that.
For me personally, I would have no problem at all using it on the outside of a rear end "pumpkin". Since the cast iron is so thick, it wouldn't hurt a thing. I would also soak the gears inside the pumpkin, but not leave it in the Evaporust too long (maybe an hour or two) so that I didn't eat away very much of the important metal inside the pumpkin. My 2-cents.
