The results were that the acid loosened and/or dissolved most of the rust and deposits inside the water jacket. The Rust911 did dissolve a good portion of what the acid did not (some flock like chunks of something dark and muddy). I am not convinced that the Rust911 alone would have removed all the deposits but combined with the acid, I have a much cleaner water jacket and feel comfortable proceeding.
Now... on with the much delayed rebuild.
