    you mean anti rust? keeping the engine bay clean and dry all the time is one way to prevent rust.

    brush nitric acid (rust converter) to the rusted part and after the rust cures to blackish plastic like coating over the rust, apply grease or vaseline to prevent rust from recurring

    Are you talking about the engine block? That's cast iron. It doesn't matter if there's surface rust... it's like rain wearing away at a mountain, it'll take centuries to eat its way through it.

    If you don't like the look of rust, just treat it then paint the block with black high-temp primer.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    i stand corrected, the rust converter is made of phosphoric acid not nitric acid.

inti rust for the engine
