    Talking Water corrosion on piston sleeves. Help Please !

    02 Disco 150,000 Miles
    Had blown head gasket next to # 7...I took out the heads...there was terracotta "desert' color water drying on top of pistons 7 and 8, cleaned them_then put some brake fluid overnight.The fluid didnt go down at all_the level was the same. Do you think I should push the piston up from underneath to clean the rings,even though the pistons are tight in keeping the brake fluid away from the rings, or should I just live it along?
    Ah! and how should I clean the water corrosion in #7 and #8 sleeves?
    Thank You all !

    pull the block an re-sleeve it...

    any abuse that going to get that piston out short of melting it out with a gas axe is going to shift the liner.

    LbJust going by pics. you need to pull the engine apart check water damage to the bores, there's alot of carbon and sludge build up in the valley which tells me it might be time for some major work, do it all once and then forget about it, although every thing comes at a cost

    good luck
