: : : Ihave a stuck 4 cylinder engine. Two pistons right at the top , other two down From underneith everything looks good. Up top looks bad Thanks in advance Kevin
: : This might sound kind of quirky, but alcohol has a way of working it's way thru anything. I'd try a penatrating solvent forst tho'. Alcohol for the equipment not the operator. Dunno if this helps or not, good luck, Me
: :::::Would you not be worried that alcohol consists of mostly water? I've also heard that coca-cola is good for the same purpose, maybe the water is the secret. It's worth a try to pass this logic pass your wife, when your justifing your purchase of a 1/2 gal. of Old Grandad. Or what if the preacher drops by, "oh, I just use that stuff for rusty bolts and such". I like your thinking Indian Guy. Bonehead
The Indian Guy is right regular ole alcohol works well,try it and let us know the outcome. Del
