I actually looked at that Zep stuff tonight when I was in Home Depot, but I bought a 54 gallon tub while I was there and @ $ 10 a gallon I figured it would be too expensive to fill it up with that one. So tomorrow I am going to drive to the feed store and pick up about 20 gallons of molasses and fill the tub up with it and water. I think I have convinced Dan that it won't eat his block away, and if there is any pitting it was there from the rusting itself.

I'll post some pictures of before, during, and after the block comes out of the mixture. That tub worked out to be the perfect size for the 455 block to drop down into.
