Removing rust from an engine block?
Hey all im rebuilding my 22re and am trying to remove all the rust from the block so i can paint it. I tried putting rust converter gel on there and it only helped a little. I cant seem to get this rust off. The PO used to drive it on the beach so thats why the block is so rusty. Thanks for the help!

pffft.... I wish my engine could rust, it has so much oil on it theres no way.
I have no idea where they do bead blasting. Most machine shops in my area do sand blasting, thats a similar process.

wd-40 and a steel brush works good enough for me. but to get it all gone and perfectly ready for paint, any sort of media blasting would do.
go talk to a local body shop or a machine shop. im sure they can point you in the right direction.
