I stole this from another message board,
Is there a percentage formula for the ATF&acetone










For all of you that are mechanically inclined.... .
Penetrating Oils Compared
Machinist's Workshop magazine actually tested penetrants for break
out torque on rusted nuts. Significant results! They arranged a subjective
test of all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque
required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment.
Penetrating oil ..... Average load
None ............ ......... 516 pounds
WD-40 ............ ...... 238 pounds
PB Blaster ............ ..214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ...... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............ 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix... 53 pounds
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic
transmission fluid and acetone.
Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this
one particular test. A local machinist group mixed up a batch and all now
use it with equally good results. Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as
good as "Kroil" for about 20% of the price.

Thanks for pointing that out

I can personally vouch for the acetone/atf cocktail. I believe it was a key player in the success of my battle to remove the thermostat housing on the old 948 a few months ago... That and a large hammer, heat gun, various leveraging tools, and a bucket full of patience.

Shaken or stirred?

Shaken or stirred?

<span style="font-weight: bold">Always</span> stirred, never shaken! You do not want to bruise the gin (or in this case the acetone).

I've been bruised by gin... is that the same thing? Probably not...
