<VV> Problems with a 140 tear down

Ray,
 
I tried Liquid Wrench and one other product who's name escapes  me at the 
moment as well as the PB Blaster.  I did not try the acetone/ATF  formula but 
will keep that in mind the next time I tackle a seized  engine.
 
Good luck with your 140 and other projects.

One  quick note for you (and everyone else).  I read a scientific review of 
 penetrating oils and contrary to what seems to be popular belief (at least 
 around here) PB Blaster is one of the least effective of the lot.   

The best "retail" penetrating oil by a good margin turned out to be  
"Liquid Wrench", but what is considerably better than even that is a 50/50  
solution of ATF and Acetone.  I've used that since with great  success.  Again, 
this is all based on an actual test that was conducted  scientifically.

Hope this helps at least a little!

PS- you guys  have also got me worried, I have a SUPER rusty 140 here (got 
it for free) that  I've been planning to take apart hopefully just to 
salvage the heads, cam,  crank, and block.... it is starting to sound like that 
might be a whole lot  harder than I'd guessed it would be.
