I have one here that is a hand my down from my Dad's welding tool collection. The biggest problem with a hand held bottle is they are usually too fat to get into some tight spots. Where a torch with the correct tip will get in there really easy. pulling an intake exaust of of any 6 is a PITA most of the time.Even if I was not doing the job I would still soak them down with what ever you want to use and smell burning off of them. I have also seem the bottom studs them selves rust pretty bad.IF they happen to get that bad penetrating oil or heat they will just snap off.
.....Wookee
That'd be my other problem, im not sure a bottle will get in there.

When it comes down to it it is that authors opinion of what better. Again thirty years of welding repairing every thing from cargo containers to D9 bulldozers to Al John car crushers tells me the product [WD 40] works.
IF this product did NOT work I would just let you talk your BS.

I have been a home mechanic and home repairer and hobbyist for 30 years and I used think WD-40 was great, until I tried using the chemical actually designed to be a penetrating lubricant. Use whatever makes you happy, but in my experience, and apparently in the experience of others, WD-40 is not a good penetrating lubricant.

- I appreciate all different opinions, and Im not trying to be an ass, but can we not argue and get into pissing matches in here. I'll gladly participate in any discussion, but this is supposed to be a build thread for my new van, not an argument forum. Thank you.

Sorry your thread got cluttered up with that garbage.
Glad to hear you had a spare battery and are making progress wiring up your stereo.

Glad to hear you had a spare battery and are making progress wiring up your stereo. Its all good, lots of different personalities. Not everyone is gonna be harmonious all the time. Time for a safety meeting and wirin up some speakers.
