Pickling usually means that the water passages have been cleaned by
acid to remove the normal boiler scale that fouls the heat
transmission. This is normal maintenance.

Pickling of a 'submerged' engine includes removal of the water in the
combustion chamber ,crankcase, etc. and then totally filling and
draining with a light weight oil to prevent rust formation of the
cylinder walls, piston ring grooves, etc. ---- beware if the
submergence was in salt water, especially if the engine was not
immediately run to a 'hot' condition after pickling.
