Some what parts? That's blasphemy on this site, it's a good thing we're not in the middle east, you could lose your head nd I'm not talking engine.

I like this:
Kano Aerokroil Penetrating Oil, 10 oz. aerosol (AEROKROIL)

 

This is what I use as well. All they used at the Air Force Depot facility I worked at in Utah. I figured if it worked that well for aircraft it would work for me at home, worked well it did!

 

I use the 50/50 atf and acetone too.
Much,much cheaper than the stuff in the spray cans!
And,it works very well.

good to know, will have to try. thanks everyone. :tu

 

The best I've found, in over 55 years of building and restoring cars, is:

GM Rust Penetrant & Inhibitor - Heat Valve Lubricant
Part #88862627 Voc compliant

Should be available at the local GM dealership.

 

Here we go again :sign0020:. Go with 50/50 blend of ATF and acetone,works best for me,and as per post #4 also. :anim_25: :tu :tu

 

Penetrine for me. I've also heard that lemon juice does wonders - I should go and plant a lemon tree in the back yard

 

Liquid Wrench, Wd40, Nut buster.Whatever works. I will try the 50/50 atf and acetone. Mike

Coca-Cola is great against rust.

It works with Jack Daniels too :sign0020:

 

last I bought was pb blaster at oreillys. worked great. :flag6:

 

WD-40, $16 for a gallon. Also dries ignitions, removes bugs/tar, fogs engines for winter storage and many other uses.

 

I'm with Bennie, PB Blaster is my choice.

 

It depends. I use ATF and diesel to soak cyl when waking up a zombie engine. Brake fluid if water is present. a electrolysis bath using powdered molasses will remove rust. sometimes plain old soapy hot water will work. I boil used pistons in a coffie can with dish liquid. Breaks loose the varnish and crud and loosens up the piston pins. I reciently had a tractor carb that was cast iron and the throttle shaft was frozen. I took it apart and boiled it in soapy water. The difference in expansion rates between the cast body and brass throttle shaft allowed it to free up.

 

I'll third the PB Blaster recommendation. I use it on ranch and car stuff.

 

I have had limited success with many of the over the counter products. My favorite for several years has been 50/50 mixing ATF with either Lacquer Thinner or Acetone. I introduced this to my friends and our parts pullers when we owned a salvage yard. In retirement we still hang out in a shop. They call the mix "Rusty Ray". We keep it in labeled spray bottles around the shop and use it all the time including yesterday to free up stuck pads on one of our lifts.
We tried hitting the pads with a large hammer and they would not move. Sprayed "Rusty Ray" on the pivot points and within minutes we hit them again and they moved. Worked them back and forth until we could move them by hand.

 

Great idea Rusty Ray. My mix is in a bucket right now, but I do have some spray bottles. Hope the acetone doesn't melt the bottles. I do think at a minimum, I'll filter it out and back into the tin acetone can for now.

 

I've always had pretty decent luck with tried and true Liquid Wrench. Learned about it from my dad, let's not go into how many years ago that was!

Probably not as macho sounding as the big boys. But at the end of the day no one cares how the job got done.
