Funny how stuff works out like that sometimes :)

I just dump more acetone in it if I think it needs it. I got one of those old school oil cans, in a few hours, it leaked out of the rolled seam. I'm thinking of just using a mason jar and a small paintbrush, because it leaks through everything. Lol just like you would want a penetrating oil to do

Automatic transmission fluid. I really don't see why hydraulic oil wouldn't work, but I haven't tried it. The key is the acetone, which cuts it so it penetrates

Sure thing. If he has any other questions about anything let me know :)

Lol that too.

If you can cut them with a file, feel free to pour the heat to her. Files aren't very hard, so if the grinder shows high carbon, it's for toughness. Heat won't hurt it at all.

Yeah just hack it if that's the case (and they are cheapish). The wax seeps in just like penetrating oil tries to, but I've found the wax follows rust like nothing I've ever used. I'll never buy penetrating oil again, especially after the 50 50 mix of acetone and atf fluid. Btw that's a cast...

A welding tip is very concentrated, enough to where you can get a bolt red hot, and then hold the wax on it. The other part will get warm, but not change color. With steel, color shows how hot it is. Furthermore, anything that's tapped will still be unhardened, because hardening could change the...

With an oxy acetylene torch, you just use a welding tip to concentrate the heat. You will still heat up the surrounding material from doing this, but by using parrifin wax it's easier on the steel because during hardening process oil is normally used. You can check the type of steel by a quick...

Since you are replacing the bolts, you will be fine. Water quenching can lead to cracking, but you are replacing it anyways.

Lol I'm sure you've seen this Bob, but this kinda sums it up. Nws https://youtu.be/sTqVH6XxPFI

:) when it idles up that burp sound, ugh....:spermy: staggered brushes (300 brushes in the 2 and 7 o'clock position) apparently calms it down even more, and makes it even sweeter.

Thanks Cory :) this is something I can actually help with :lol:

You need a torch set, a dc stick welder, and a couple grinders. Anything else it's just a nice addition. The torch can do just about everything, just not as fast as other stuff. Get 6" grinders, so you can use 6" cut off wheels, which work way better than the little small 4" ones. The reason I...

Al, I have a '71 sa200 too, thing welds so smooth I just clip a rod and bounce it off the pipe and it does the rest lol. Seriously, if any of you come across one of them going for a decent price, pick it up, you will not be disappointed. Grabbed mine from a junkyard for $500 while drunk looking...

Buy a Victor journeyman set. It will cost a little more than the cheap ones, but it will outlive you and possibly your offspring. The tips are cheaper than the Harris or Smith, and they are what you will find on every construction site in the continent. It is the most versatile tool I own, it...

I'm not familiar with how those particular bolts go in there or what not, but a few tricks I've learned that work really well are heat it up and put regular parrifin wax on it, it wicks down in the threads better than anything I've ever used. If the bolt head or hex is rounded beyond usefulness...
