*Mastermind has already made a video and a thread about removing transfers without an acid, but this is slightly different*
Ofcourse my dummy a*s forgot to take a picture of a cylinder before, as i didnt expect it to work this fast and well.
But, heres a piston, so make a guess how it looked like.
Anyway,I have recently bough a seized 064 arctic for real cheap with badly seized engine, 180 degrees of nasty transfers.
No major damage to plating, and i have already cleaned few cylinders with mastermind's method, so no biggie, 20mins and job finished, right? -NO.
As usual, started with scotch, some transfers were gone, switched to sandpaper and spent 10 mins buzzing around with my dremel and almost NOTHING, most transfers are still there, more time with sandpaper still nothing, then i tried flap drum, sanding drum, wire wheel, coarser/finer sandpaper, polishing compound and not a budge!
My next plan was acid or nothing. Meanwhile i remembered that i have this $5 honing "thing" , said screw it and gave a shot.
Sprayed bunch of WD40, 10 seconds later, DONE.
Gave a last "polish" with this $2 scotch drum.
So, if anyone encounters really stubborn transfers, might give this a try.
*Cylinder already looked like this around exhaust port, so no damage caused*
