Bore solvents

[alfajim]

Just thought I would bring this old thread back up on bore solvents for lead removal.
Having spent the past 30 -40 yrs in the racing engine field and the last 20+ yrs as a engine builder and machinist when ever a engine came in with a burned piston before the bore could be reworked the aluminum had to be removed. so we would use muriatic acid to dissolve the alum from the cylinder walls. Also when having to rework steel parts that were plated, cad or cadII we would dip them in the acid till it stopped fizzing no more plating worked to strip rust. then rinse with hot water, clean & neutralized.
So has anyone thought to use a weak muriatic acid solution on patched to remove the lead then water or soluble oil water and then dry & oil?
