Re: [Chrysler300] Fwd: Penetrating Oils

I notice they didn't check Gibbs.  I would like to have seen how that  
fairly expensive product compared.  I know it has been recommended from  some 
here.

Find this of great interest and will test it on a well rusted 300K ram  
engine in the back yard.

Just some interesting  information to us that still mess around with a 
wrench and pliers at  times...John

Penetrating Oils 

Machinist's Workshop magazine  recently published some information on 
various penetrating oils that I found  very interesting. Some of you might 
appreciate this. The magazine reports they  tested penetrates for break out torque 
on rusted nuts. 

They are below,  as forwarded by an ex-student and professional machinist. 
They arranged a  subjective test of all the popular penetrates with the 
control being the  torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically 
rusted" environment.  

*Penetrating oils ........... Average torque load to loosen*  

No Oil used ...................516 pounds 
WD-40  ..................... ... 238 pounds 
PB Blaster .................... 214  pounds 
Liquid Wrench ...............127 pounds 
Kano Kroil  .................... 106 pounds 
ATF*-Acetone mix............53 pounds  

The ATF-Acetone mix is a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic  transmission 
fluid and acetone. Note this "home brew" released bolts better  than any 
commercial product in this one particular test. 

Our local  machinist group mixed up a batch and we all now use it with 
equally good  results. Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is almost as good as 
"Kroil" for about  20% of the price. 

Steve from Godwin-Singer says that ATF-Acetone mix  is best, but you can 
also use ATF and lacquer thinner in a 50-50 mix.
