Electrolysis Cleaning a Cylinder Head
This was an experiment I did using electrolysis to clean the cylinder head of a 1967 Triumph GT6. The '67s had external pushrod tubes that makes cleaning them up for restoration a huge pain. I came across the information on electrolysis on a Truck forum, where they'd had a great deal of success using it to remove pretty gnarly rust from an engine block, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Total cost of materials was less than $30, since I already had a battery charger. After it was done, the grease and oil were gone, the rust had converted to a black substance that came off with a toothbrush, and old paint and gaskets flaked off with a razorblade. Well done!
