I'd forgotten what muriatic acid does to aluminum. Eats it, basically. He was repairing an old 2 cycle lawnboy mower what had slightly scarred piston and cylinder. He sanded the high spots on the piston. Then to get the excess aluminum off the cylinder, he used muriatic acid to eat it off. Then honed it a little and voil'a.
