You could use the electric rust-removal trick that I used on my genset. Miraculous. You just have to ensure that the water doesn't leak down past the rings, or that if it does you clean it out again soon. In my case, the rust that froze the pistons was a pretty good water seal. http://cathey.dogear.com/genset.html -- Jim
