Default Engine conservation

Has anyone any experience of conserving wreck recovered engines that have
been subjected to salt water conditions - I have two R2800s c/w props that
have been recovered from a salt-marsh. The Magnesium castings have crumbled
but the remainder looks fairly sound and prop blades are good, most still
with paint & decals.

The mud adhering to them has turned into concretion & is proving
troublesome - any tips on cleaning methods and chemicals that could prevent
further corrosion & seal the surface would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance -
