If you are talking cam bearings, don't expect them to be useable after... :lol:
why not just stand block on end, water pump hole at top, seal the deck of block with gaffa tape, and just fill the water jacket... :wink:
No need to dunk the bearings then.

I think I'm just going to have to make something rusty so I can try this! I wish I knew this trick along time ago. Amazing. Thank you for all the dope tricks here on ausmini.com.

It works great on rust, but note it is useless for grease/oil/paint/general crud removal.
Of course if that is the problem, you could always (carefully) make up a hot caustic soda bath... :lol:

good idea Kev, I was thinking of just filling a tub up to the level of the water drain plug and putting the block in upside down, but your idea is better.... they are new cam bearings

I always end up doing things in the wrong order :roll:
