[QUOTE="Skiffing, post: 399389, member: 15889"] Johnny - You may be there for a while trying to neutralize the muriatic acid residue with baking soda. Acid when the engine is hot will be 10X more aggressive than when cold. Can also eat gaskets. You can get a pH meter for $10 on ebay to monitor the acid bath pH to keep it above 4 or so... and verify you have increased the pH to 7 or so when washed out. If you're taking it out for a run right away [while still wet inside] - that should clean it out. [/QUOTE]
