When I looked at the barbs, I saw that they were green. My thought was that there was something growing in there. But there might have been reaction to mixed metals.
The block might come apart if you would apply some pressure to the base. Probably the stuff on the inside holds it pretty well.

I've used a product here in the States called CLR, Calcium Lime Rust remover, not sure if it's available in the UK.
If you have any jewelers close by, stop and ask if the would clean it in their sonic cleaner, for a small fee most likely.

ok...I'll have a look around and see if I can find it anywhere.
that is seriously nasty. I don't know if you are going to get that into a condition that you would want to use it regardless of what you do. This is not to mention that it really isn't going to work very well on the current generation of processors, as the MCW6002, the successor to this block, performed rather poorly in Niksub's testing.
