I want to chemical clean my engines (5.7L 350cid, 260hp) transmission heat exchanger (HX) which is a single pass copper/bronze. The transmission is a Velvet Drive model AS1-71c. I want to clean both sides of the HX. Do people still use muratic acid or what else that is readily available?....and what is used to neutralize? The baot is new to me and know that it has run hot ...significantly degraded raw water pump. I have replaced the raw water pump and back flushed lines etc...a little concerned that the transmission fluid may have 'varnished' on the tubes and hindering heat transfer etc. I have 'roded' through all the tubes.
Thanks in advance for any feed back
