Re: [MBZ] Kinda OT: Rust on cylinders
No Scotchbrite or glaze breaker unless you are going to disassemble and clean everything. They both shed copious grit, and it will eat your rings pronto. Clean with a rag and some Kroil or other penetrating oil, wipe out completely and re-oil with engine oil. The rust will be considerably less of a problem than the grit from Scotchbrite or a hone.

Re: [MBZ] Kinda OT: Rust on cylinders
If your not going to do the correctly, remove pistons, glaze break, new rings, etc just install the head and start the damn thing. The idea of trying to remove the rust while the pistons are installed is just going to get all that crap in the engine, it will settle down around the top rings and be a great abrasive.

SHoot the bores with mopar penetrating oil. It will remove the rust. Easy and cheap. After a few hours, wipe the stuff out. At 04:57 PM 11/28/2005, you wrote: I have a Toyota that I am reassembling.

Re: [MBZ] Kinda OT: Rust on cylinders
Ah, aren't scotch-brite pads, plastic wire coated with aluminum oxide? I'm sure I read somewhere contaminating internal engine parts with aluminum oxide dust will result in lower engine life.
