Thanks, 38. Do you think the phosphoric acid will affect head gaskets? I'm thinking that I could do this after all of the other checks I proposed and put the heads on for good. Therefore, after I clean the water passages, I could button up everything, timing cover, pan and intake and install the engine. Or, maybe I'll just use some old head gaskets for the cleaning. Trying to save a step here, what do you think?
