Oops. Was thinking grease/grime instead of rust.

Worth paying a machine shop every penny just so I don't have to clean up the mess.. if I was cleaning blocks every month I might consider this.

Did a pinesol soak on some gummed up carbs on my motorcycle after last winter. Stuff works amazing! Wish I would have thought of that when I was cleaning my transmission. Though I sure getting pinesol inside the tranny would probably be a bad thing. So I'm not sure how that would have been done.

I just take all of my greasy, grimy, paint peeing and rusted parts to the metal laundry.
Keep away from dangerous, sterilizing, impotence inducing chemicals.

+1 for this thread.

yeah the fumes are something of a mystery.. might pay to do this outside or in a well ventilated area and use gloves instead of just touching the metal.
