Sadly it is corrosion, and from what i can tell, the engine is basically filled with it; including all the way down the port

Worked on cleaning it up with purple power luquid, metal bristled brushes, and some elbow grease. Got to admit, it barely seems to look any better. I wish i could power wash it, or would that be too harsh to the crevices of a bare engine? Any tips or tricks would be great

For the engine tin screws, I have found a few things that help.

1- Get the correct size screwdriver. I know they're just slot-head screws, but if you get a driver that fits the slot snugly it helps. I found that the largest screwdriver I could find at my local Sears was the correct size. If you can, take one of the engine tin screws with you to check the fit against the screwdrivers in the store or in your Best Friend's tool collection.

2- Impact can help. Put the driver in the screw, then give the handle end of the driver a sharp rap with a mallet. This can, sometimes, help break a bond between the fastener and what it is screwed into.

3- Use a good penetrating oil. Liquid Wrench is OK, WD-40 is not. I like PB Blaster and Kano's Aero Kroyl. Others have said that paraffin also works if you heat the fastener.

4- Which leads us to the other big thing, heat. The "hot wrench" can help break the bond between parts. Use with caution, and make sure to have a fire extinguisher handy.

Lots of heat and then the paraffin/wax as it cools. The heat wicks in the wax. Works well.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) not good don't expect too much ,outside stored motor,generally not a great out come,bottom end might be ok???
In this case I would say the pistons will be seized in the bores (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

I'd highly suggest going out and buying an impact screw driver to remove engine tin screws (also work well for the rotor screws, etc). When you hit them with a hammer they rotate slightly so the turning is perfectly timed with the impact; I've rarely stripped a tough screw using one. You can buy Lisle 3/8" one at sears or off Amazon for ~$20 and it's worth every penny.

Also, is it correct for the intakes farthest nut (closest to the tranny) to be a different size? It could be that mines so rusted and deformed, but it seems to me to be genuinely smaller than the other three 13mm bolts that bolt the piped on. Im just curious!!

No. If you want performance shocks, go billstein or koni. If you want economical and good street driving go Boge. If you can only afford kyb’s, save your money until you can spend more.

I second mepstein's advice. Went with Billstein and never regretted it.
