What's your favorite penetrating oil? Look @ this

nitroglycerin....to make it go kablewiee that will unstick it.

 

Gibbs............hands down.

567 on kroil

 

acetone and atf

 

Dynamite, if that doesn't work try some GM top engine cleaner. that stuff eats everything.

 

another vote for Kroil, and it does take time............

 

never tried Kroil, but I'm for sure a Gibbs guy, and I can brig you down a can on friday if you want,I have that distributor I want you to look at....I stock Gibbs at the shop, and it works great for other stuff too...

 

ditto!!

 

Bring them both, and we'll go from there. Thanks

 

Kroil once you use it you will throw the others out

 

That was not Kool-Aid. It was Flavor-Aid.

 

I really like the Kroil too. Used it for years back on the East coast where stuff gets stuck as #$@!.
It really irritates my hands though, can't go near it without gloves on.

 

straight brake fluid.

Why not just take the valve out and clean the stem and guide? Then you won't have to worry about all of the debris that is causing it to stick now making it stick again once you get it running. All of the penetrating stuff will make it come loose, but whatever is causing it to stick is going to still be there causing undue wear and the possibility of it sticking again when you really don't want it to. Fix it right, fix it once.

What's the motor, flathead Cadillac/Lasalle?

 

sea foam. I love that stuff

 

liquid wrench
pb blaster
seafoam

 

I've heard of the use of water as well, like on hinges and stuff. Then follow up with WD40 or similar. Makes sense, because thats what got in there in the first place!

 

Dunno if anyone has mentioned it yet, but there's a product called Aero-Kroil.

Big orange can. Smells awful. But works wonders.

Give it a shot if you can find it locally.

 

At work we use a penetrant called Twister. i belive its made by Selig Industries.... the stuff kicks ass and doesnt smell like shit

 

Gibb's Gibb's Gibb's..............................I put that shit on everything.

 

I always use Ballistol on stuck pistons and valves, it always helps to break up rust and grime. I don´t know if it´s availible in the US but that´s the best thing I´ve used.

Seal off the holes with rags . Then fill up port with acetylene . Take a old electric cord cut off the female end . Strip two wires bare and twist the bare ends together put the twisted ends in the port before the acetylene and rags. After filling with acetylene step out side plug in cord. Maybe not a good idea .After the dust clears and your ears stop ringing you may need to rebuild more than the head . OK bad idea I vote for Kroils

 

home brew xxx. just take every lube and oil and hydralic fluid in your shop or gurage and mix it togeather and pour it it.. then wait for 3 days and then do what you do and presto ya got it unstuck

 

K- y jelly! Works for all kinds of stuff!

 

because...it's STUCK!

 

Definitely Kroil. And you can buy it all day long from Eastwood.

 

strong arm shit works great cleans off surface rust like a metal polish havent had to heat anything up since i found this shit i havent come across anthing that i havent been able to get loose and i live in ohio our shit will rust before your eyes check out their site http://strongarmsprays.com/

 

Put it in the freezer for a day, the valve stem will shrink, thats how they do the rocker studs on 302 fords.
