Try using salt away. Its a good salt neutralizerer. West marine has it. It's expensive but cheap compared to the alternative.Read the directions on the container. I would try and run salt away for at least 5 minutes through the engine, and before shutting the engine off block all water outlets somehow and let the salt away sit in the engine for a day. Then rune it again using only water, and then again with salt away. It may take several treatments but it has a good chance of working. Good luck.

if you found gel in the t-stats you need to clean the heads
