Re: #2 Piston Pics - Got it out!!! Need feedback
That puppy's just got a lot of miles on it, at least two hundred
thousand miles, since it was rebuilt, probably came from a passenger car
before the work order showed it was purchased used to install along with
a that shop's rebuilt head. If no other bearing are worst than what
we've seen Bill, just could throw in a set of inserts and rings and it
would be good to go, for another two hundred thousand.

Re: #2 Piston Pics - Got it out!!! Need feedback
It's good stuff for sure...and I do like the scent.
But I'd say it isn't good for you.
I used an old styrofoam cooler to put some parts in after I had sprayed them
with WD-40. well, the bottom of the cooler got dissolved.
And I wonder of the use of this stuff for arthritis....kills nerve endings
maybe??
And the fishing one is that it gets rid of your smell off the lure...doesn't
attract them, unless that cool rainbow streak coming from the lure floating
in the water does anything.

But I'd say it isn't good for you.
I used an old styrofoam cooler to put some parts in after I had sprayed them
with WD-40. well, the bottom of the cooler got dissolved.
And I wonder of the use of this stuff for arthritis....kills nerve endings
maybe??
And the fishing one is that it gets rid of your smell off the lure...doesn't

in the water does anything.
