    a very strong acid.... that i wont mention here because it is also used in other illicit endeavours..... needless to say - its no good for home use as it quite dangerous, you should be able to take your motor to some engine rebuilders and have it hot tanked for a slab.....

    if you want a good HD degreaser/paint stripper/ alloy eater give a cheap brand of oven cleaner a try. be warned but! dont keep it on alloy for to long.
    great for old cast iron blocks.

    cheers phil

    oh and use a gass mask and dont feed it to kids

    Simple Green try that.

    I use Simple Green which is a friendly degreaser rather than an acid, leaves a sligh residue behind that stops what ever is left behind oxidising. In most of these hot baths you'll find a caustic solution. Not very nice either.
