Howdy,


There's no safe way to remove rust from a riser/elbow. You can remove rust various ways......but there's no way to determine wall thickness. The riser or manifold can start leaking at any time and allow water back into the engine via an open exhaust valve after shutdown.

Roll the dice. New riser or new engine.....


Sorry about that.....
