Another approach is to put an Oz. of WD40 or PB Blaster in each cylinder and then pressurize with compressed air. On cylinders that are not under compression, the compressed air will distrubute the penertrating oil. With the cylinder under compression, the compressed air will act to rotate the engine while driving the penertrating oil past the rings. | Another approach is to put an Oz. of WD40 or PB Blaster in each cylinder and then pressurize with compressed air.

| + | I tried all of the above and was about to give up when a "old timer" told me about using Coke a Cola, I didn't believe it but why not try it. I poured a can of straight red can Coke in each spark plug hole. Let sit overnight. Next day I pulled on the breaker bar and with hardly any pressure it rotated free and easy. Ever see what coke does to a penny soaked over night? | ||
