If you spray this fluid on a rusty 1 inch bolt let it set and come back the next day with a 3/4 impact wrench and the bolt backs off clean...... If that is not penetration sorry, I really do not know what. is.
But then what do I know.
I think slant 6's make great boat anchors

.......Wookee Ive used WD-40 for years too, i will say i think PB blaster is better in some circumstances, like on bike chains, kroil, PB, WD, whatever your choice is. F- it, im takin it to the exhaust shop. The van has running boards and my wrist has been bothering me lately making it difficult to crawl around onthe ground. Im gonna let my ink pen and check book do the muscle on this one. 99% of any other repair i tackle myself. I know my limits. The ford 300 is a great motor, but i will agree (sorry Reed) about the /6. We all have our preferences, thats the great part of vanning, idividuality AND a common ground!

Does not really seam to work much better. I have an 02 sensor that will need a heat wrench to get it out. I don't crawl under any thing with out jacking it up on stands. It's not a young or old thing. It's a work smart thing.
I have no problem spending money at a good shop for exaust work. It has always been money well spent on my projects.

The heat will pull in the oil | | | Re: Newest Addition to the Family | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 4,460 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: May 2006 Posts: 4,460 | too bad all i got is a puny lil propane torch...
