Look at the reflection in the wrench at 11:37
MC Grenada hahahah
hahaha.. what a goofball. Too funny
Sneaky !!!!!!
Great stuff...thanks for a good laugh
MC Grenada Good eye.
Deep creep and Honey goo sounds like the lineup at the local mens club.
TheDisorderly1 , Naw... More like the Ladies Club.
But Canadian something something release all isn't?
Isn't "honey goo" from that reality TV show? I don't mean to be rude, but y'all know that fat girl doing the child beauty pageant show or something...I only know about it because it was featured on South Park...
Honey goo always talks about her kids tho and ruins an otherwise nice evening out losing $1s
honey boo boo child
65$ for kroil damn bolt better unscrew itself
Itself......or me........aaahhhh haha
It's like $15 here in the states
Dude it's all over the internet for $15 here in the states. It's an 8oz can
It would be worth it if it instantly de-rusted itself, broke itself free and magically became a grade 8 or better bolt.... other than that I'll stick with PB Blaster and a torch.
Wow Canadian tax must be crazy its only like 15$ here in the UK.
Waiting for AvE to release his own line of products. I'd stick with his brand for all my needs. Plus, imagine the marketing slogans!
David Magerman yes. This x2
Better put him on The Free Beer and Hotwings Morning show then. They pretty much say all the same stuff all the time :D
I’m waiting for his Netflix stand up special
I would absolutely buy a can of Heat&beat.

Taste/smell test or it doesn't count.
Hand Tool Rescue wd tastes way better than kroil or pb blaster
WD-40 helps sear steak beautifully, and adds to the taste!
You must be looking for the Waterjet Channel
Ah, the ever popular bacon-caramelization test!
Considering the rant starting at about 5:30, it seems that he did indeed get a taste test. :)
Oh and who the hell has DAYS to wait on some oil to penetrate. When I need a bolt off, I need it now, not next fuckin Tuesday!
that's my FIRST thought. what customer is going to wait DAYS for a rusty bolt?!
When I decide I got some auto work to do, I spray down every bolt before I order my parts. When they arrive the next day or so, I squirt them again and giver shit.
Kaiser knows the real way, everyones pissing around too much with random shit
I think I jinxed myself by leaving this comment since I just got done fighting 2 bolts for an hour and a half. Fuck me!
C U Next Tuesday
My girl is over hearing one of your videos for the first.
" He's just one of those guys who talks to themselves, he'd be saying most this stuff without a camera on."
Hey, I do that 😢😂
freekin nailed it lol She might be a keeper!
My wife heard and said "are you watching some dickhead count?"
she's a keeper!
Truth. If there isn’t anyone around worth talking to, I’ll talk to myself. Then answer myself.
I remember first seeing RED GREEN - and immediately realizing where AVE gets his phrases!!!!
When in doubt, use the blue tipped wrench. A nut can't possibly be stuck when it's a liquid. 😎
Ah, yes, the mighty smokewrench.
no pb blaster

Also known as the "gas-Axe" 😊
I have a 5 foot breaker bar that is spring steel that is wrapped around and properly stick welded to an old matco 1in drive breaker. I also have an 8 foot pipe i can slide on there. I've broken sockets before
I swear by 50-50 mix of oxygen and acetylene for stubborn fasteners.
So you're the one who's been filling the shop up with all that damned black smoke! >:-(
What about nut washing? When I was an apprentice I had to practice washing nuts (not the Journeyman's) with a torch and wasn't allowed to do it on machinery until I could reliably do it without wrecking or overheating the bolts.
Lol! Thanks for the chuckle. :-)
Nut washing made me think of Lewis Black's comedy routine. If you don't mind obscenity, and have 8 minutes to spare, past the following into UA-cam's search box.
it should be 7:1 ratio of oxygen and acetylene
Yeah? In volumetric terms an acetylene:oxygen ratio of approximately 1:1 gives a neutral flame and by weight I think it's about 1.6:1 (approximately 26g/mol and 16g/mol for acetylene and oxygen respectively)
With the ratio you give are you talking about atmospheric air and acetylene proportions by weight? By my understanding that would be in the area of your numbers. Please explain how I'm wrong. I'm honestly not butt-hurt over this. I just don't know how you came to your figure and want to know why I'm wrong. It's what my wife would call a learning opportunity.
This dudes videos always bring good information and even better comedy 😂
Dude. Keep up the reviews. I just found your channel a few days ago, and you have already saved me $$
But you didn't let 'em chooch for three days and nights, with the harvest moon, upside down, on the solstice, at a precise 38 dungarees with a yellow tabby near the davenport...
I know right?! Where's the goat sacrifice??

i thought it was a ladder not a triangle, and my pappy said crows not goats....
The automatic English caption of the French language story created more questions than it answered.
No no thanks for the heads up, was a good laugh.
jump to about 15:18 if you're reading the comments after and want to go back
Who woudn't be interested in Barbara's wedding matters?
The problematic bit had something to do with either "showing Papa Leg a French secret opening" or "showing Papa Leg's French secret opening". I'm not sure which, and I'm not sure I want to know either way.
No no oh no, not weed murders!
Best part of this is using English subtitles @ 16:05 on his French rant!🤣
Haha wtf love it
Hhahahahhaha.
Haha! Wedding plans? Wtf?!
I conducted my own tests and found a startling result! Candle lighting increases the effectiveness of the Kroil Penetrating Oil! In my experiments, I utilized the minimal lighting afforded by a single candle located 12 inches from the stuck bolt. I then deployed Kroil toward the bolt in the same vector that is horizontally and vertically aligned with the candle and the rust spontaneously combusted, breaking the bolt free!
*Visible Confusion*
@@hermanmcpootis5425 Shooting a flammable product through a flame toward the bolt results in a flame thrower and the stuck bolt catching on fire. The humor of my previous comment requires a little bit of thinking to become clear.

So if one is good 15 should be gooder. So let mix them puppies all up and have a go ater?
Next test, determine where the point of diminishing returns is for tapping the rusty nut. Take 10 rusty ones, measure one, tap the rest once, measure another one, tap the rest; continue until out of test units.
I'm betting it's around 3 taps.
That makes sense, since it's tappy tap tap.
Lol
Gotta enjoy how most of AvE's content is so rewatch able.
He' s better than a lot of comedians I tried to watch the last several year !! ALWAYS get a few laughs out of his vids !!!
In French we don't need any of those snake oil , we just use a few and everything break loose
J"aime beaucoup ton accent en francais
"Don't forget your hat" LMAO perfect
Guy Smiley And don’t let the door hit you in the ass !
5:34 made me almost choke on my coffee from laughing . AvE's unabashed "going there" moments still get me.
day 501 - AvE still hasn't clued in that I dont understand a word he's saying or talking about, I'm just here for the Canadian jokes.
I actually enjoy aerosol roulette.
Me again. Did statistics for this test using MATLAB
All numbers in this section are mean +/- standard deviation
Control, given the last sample is omitted: 847 +/- 12.73
Honey: 757 +/- 18.29
Liquid Wrench: 773 +/- 8.25
Seafoam: 742.7 +/- 45.49
Kroil: 797 +/- 39.38
Using an analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) we can determine any significant differences between these groups.
From this the following can be determined:
Honey and SeaFoam are both significantly lower than the Control. p-values: 0.0037 and 0.048
None of the other penetrating oils were significantly different.
However, in any real study you would need to run power analysis before conducting the study. For this particular study with a "large" effect size (change in means/pooled SD > 0.8, for Cohen's D). The power in this study is 0.69., substantially lower than the scientifically necessary 0.8 minimum (depends on your field.. many use 0.9).
That said, I always like seeing the obnoxiously expensive snake oils fail (Kroil).
Source: I do this for a living. I know, I'd hate me too.
In other words, (for the guys dreaming of finding a brand new Cockford-Ollie) a run of a total of all the samples together shows how spread out the data points are. This shows that the sample sizes are too small to give meaningful results, and how likely it is that we would get different results if we repeated this test.
What about a post hoc test on the significantly different results? (I'm just a student)
Did you happen to come across a particularly enlightening tutorial when learning how to do this that you're willing to share?
What do you do for a living? Test ? Or are you a tradesmen who has hands on and works with these products, because if you are a lab coat you cannot duplicate real world as you don't have access to Exchangers or vessels in refineries that have been in service for who knows how long, some maybe 20 years or more of corrosion and heat stress. You can put down all the numbers and theory as you please, but that does not help do the job. Stop criticizing Kroil as snake oil, you obviously have an agenda, you work for one of Kroil competition?
jim smith rust is rust. Doesn’t matter how it got there. Why are you so hostile towards the guy who ran actual numbers? Do you have anything to offer that would prove this test is wrong? Other than promising us kroil is actually amazing
I have used Break Free for 30 years it's all we used in the military and found Deep Creep a few years ago and love it too. PB Blaster works pretty good on rust too.
Loved your take on the Dreidel song lol. Keep up the good work
Another important takeaway from these tests is to grab your trusty 6 point socket/wrench, because them 12 points will screw you over by stripping the heads off the fasteners much easier.
Great video as usual AvE.
you destroyed my bias. well done sir. well done.
bo bolander my first service truck had a few cans of kroil along with probably every broken or shitty tool from the shop, now it all makes sense.
Yep, looks like 'heat and quench' is still the best method. Very methodical there AvE. Great video.
I use this stuff called freeze off, it works pretty good, especially on brake line connections that usually just round off when you first apply pressure to them.
@@joshuagibson2520 This guy brake jobs. Line wrenches=waaaaaaayyyy less rounded fittings.
Blood from my knuckles is all the lube I need.
60% of the time ..... it works all of the time

Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, forfty percent of all people know that.
90% of the time it works 50% of the time.
Exactly 93.524% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Yeah but 5 quarters of people these days don't understand fractions. Definitely not 101% of them.
I love the way you string words brother!
How does one become like this man? Utterly entertaining.
"Sure, we can still be friends. Don't forget your hat." Video was worth that line, spit my coffee out. hehe
As a trade-illiterate youngin', I felt a twinge from his whinge.
At least Uncle Bumble gives out teachings just as plentifully he does beatings.
I worked for a French tire company (figure it out) and we bought Kroil several cases at a time. People thought it was wonder juice and sprayed it on everything from using it as a cutting fluid to machinery lubricant.
Michelin?
Pirelli?
Kia!
At one of my jobs our boss bought cases of the kroil swore by it, of course the old timers preferred wd40 and juat soaked everything in it, i mean everything hell 2 years after i left everything i ate still tasted like wd40
One of my favorite smells is WD-40
Great testing every time on this channel.
Thanks for a GREAT video. I LOVE Kroil,,, especially the smell, I use it for cologne.
Oh my god you need to turn on the automatic closed captions when the french comes out. It's poetry.
"We're gonna need not to go over Barbara's wedding matters."
Excellent videos.. informative and humorous at the same time. I find myself wanting to watch any video with your jokes -laughing out.
My new favorite UA-cam channel.
Flippin the bird at 11:45 ! Almost didn't catch it.
Jeff Hengesbach Didn't see that! LOL
Lol
Good catch. Haha
Jeff Hengesbach thought I was seeing shit
I'm glad you came back at this with a control though. I'm actually not surprised to see the break away torque being so close on the 'dry' nuts then those with the oils applied. I'm long suspected that rust penetrants really only help the fastener keep going after it breaks loose instead of seizing up on rust as you back it off.
A good impact for the hammer action and the big red wrench (cutting torch) really are the best ways to deal with something really seized up.
Watching you with automatic subtitles on is always funny but watching it try to figure out your AVEisms in French is hilarious.
I love how he runs his channel. Lots of comedy, no bullshit.
11:40 haha are you flippin off the gamerea in the wrench reflection?
AWESOME catch
AMAZING HAHAHAHAHA
Sweet.
Just a wee bit
With this style of comparative testing, he's going to give that Project Farm guy some competition. (And those videos are worth a watch too for this kind of thing. At least if you don't know about 'em already.)
so far I've only seen his duck/duct tape one. I like that he uses a few different types of tests for each kind of tape. Still much too small of a sample size but a touch more scienticious.
Project Farm is great! Love his videos.
+1 for project farm, he's destroying his own stuff to show people what not to do. -100 for Chrisfix, he's giving advise that'll lead people to destroy their own stuff w/ the misinformation he puts out.
Michael D his videos are actually usually very informative
project farm got the dueling drill idea from aVe
It makes sense to give a penetrating oil SOME time to penetrate, but if it takes more than an hour, then it's not a practical solution for a working mechanic or a DIYer trying to get something fixed in a day.
Any chemical that spills off the work piece is wasted, limiting waste is how you improve profit. When a chemical in aerosol costs +$30, it makes more sense to get it in a non-spray container and use a pump or extended dropper dispenser. That allows you to apply just as much as is needed and cuts your cost by half
I had a small bottle of Kroil given to me as a present and it lasted for years. I only used it as a lube for very fine parts like watches. The purpose of a lubricant is "wet" the surface of a smooth material without reacting with it chemically, transfer the heat of friction and and use laminar flow under shear to move microscopic particles away, allowing the smooth parts to move. It never occurred to me that Kroil might work as a penetrating oil, which works by dissolving and suspending oxidized material.
The ratio of particles to fluid seems much too high.
When I need to break free a rusted fastener, I apply small amounts of alternate torque on it. I believe that the action works as in a tap, breaking up the chip/ crushing the rust and letting more of the lubricant get further into the thread. I do this with most machine fasteners when they start to come free without a penetrating lube. but exhibit a lot of resistance. This is like a slow motion version of what an impavt wrench does but with much less force.
I've heard that ATF + acetone works faster than any of these products, but never seen a comparison test. Would like to see the best of these compared to it. Coincidentally, Kroil is the same color as ATF.
I'm not a kroil fan boy by any means, as it is brutally expensive, but that said, I've used it many time when the regular offenders didn't cut the mustard. Enough times that I'd say it wasn't a coincidence or the other stuff had more time to work. Later on, I discovered that I'd spray it on, literally give it one minute, then start wrenching... if it didn't come off, get the torch because it wasn't going to cooperate anyway.
just my 2 scents worth... e-hem...
Just realized you gave us the bird in the 13/16". All these years later and I still find new things in your videos haha
Any kind of oil and some nice hammer taps is good enough. No need for fancy high dollar oily stuff.
Brake fluid works a treat.
Apply some heat first Mapp
Brake fluid makes rust.
Break fluid rust
Maybe it cancels out the old rust that was already there :)
I remember using 10W-30 or 10W-40 to lube stuff up with when the can of WD40 wasn't around. At the least, I remember that engine oil did a really good job when I had hinges not wanting to work as they should.
I would love a hammer tap test as well.
"Looks like they invented capillary action" lmfao. Dude you're always worth watching no matter what you're up to.
Never once in my 41 years of twisting nuts have I seen any brand penetrate rust. Whack the sides of the nuts (/back side of bolt) with a hammer and a punch, heat red hot, THEN add WD/Kroil-Foam, garlic and spices to your taste AfTeR. Very fun video AvE!!!
Deep Creep, heat, beat, and repeat has never let me down. Love those Fords with aluminum knuckles and steel bearings. Really gives you a nice workout
Shows that sometimes the beauty is in the beer holder. Myth is busted but not the NUT!
Speaking of watching where the nozzle is pointing... We were trying to start a semi tractor one day, and it was -50f outside. We had jumper cables from another semi on the batteries, and were charging up those blocks of ice. When we got to where the engine would turn over, our NCO grabbed a can of ether, and discovered that with the giant mittens we had to wear, he could not spray the stuff. He took off his glove, and gave a quick blast of ether. The nozzle was pointing back at his finger, and his index finger, and part of his hand turned a shiny gray. They medevac'd him, and we never saw him again.
Gah, that's grim.
So he instantly froze his hand? And died somehow?
@@CaskStrength777 We never saw him again, so everything is speculation. I figure he got deep frostbite on his index finger, and very likely it had to be amputated. Since we were in the military, there are not many 9 fingered recruits, so we figured he got medically discharged. He was a master sergeant with a good record, so he may have been given an admin position somewhere, but no one knows.
Thanks for your time bro great job!
As always I will start by saying THANK YOU. Very professional and pleasant to watch. Now one of the comments below talked about time. A real mechanic sometime don't have 1-2h to let the product work. Because time is money, it would be beneficial to try a comparison like this one but with different time frames. Control, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes and see if there is a correlation between price-time.
Again this could be just a variation of this experiments. The only thing I dislike about your videos is...... that I'm hooked.. hahahah waiting for the next nice one.... I hope one day one of this talent scouts see your channel and get you a series show. Where the name project farm comes from BTW?
AvE is doing skits? Hell, I'm impressed.
heat and beat is absolutely the best option.
Well, sometimes you just want to avoid both
I like the "cut it off and chuck it in the garbage" when possible .
Heat and beat sounds like my lonely Friday nights
I thought it was beat the meat that was the obvious choice.
The old blue tipped wrench works
AVE and project farm are my go to for this kid of testing. I do learn more from AVE.
Sometimes I watch his videos that I'm not even interested in just to listen to him! He's one of the smartest most entertaining comedians on the Tube!
So basically, hitting it with a hammer is as good as spraying the beejezus outta it?
Better use both & a blow torch to thermally widen the nut only. Now you used all three solutions on one screw. If a child can't remove the nut now, nothing can...
Yeah....but it looks like you can do both for a combined effect.
It's always a good primer....before you continue and finish by going medieval on it.
It’s a heavy use swing press
Nothing like the good ol’ thumb detecting nut buster” aka “gran marteo “
So being from Texas and realizing that none of our bolts are as rusty as your nuts up North, I watched 28 minutes before coming to the conclusion I'm only here for the entertainment. Hell, we could spit on the rusty bits down here and get just as much benefit from all seven of the snake oils tested here. Thank you for the enlightening, altogether.
When I hear you speak, I literally have to translate in my head, on the fly. "Ten dungarees science" - ah, okay, '10 degrees Celsius'. It's hirarious
I've never sprayed myself with a can that was one of the first lessons I can remember my grandpa telling me when I was helping him spray paint shit as a kid
At 11:40 look at the reflection I pissed my pants
George & Sue saw it too!
Sean Anderson at least I know I am Not crazy
"I fingered that would happen" a few seconds later: coincidence?
Si74l0rd who are you
yeah I almost missed it, careful items may be closer but it only measured 13/16''
The sounds made my your test equipment will haunt my dreams. It was like industrial house club music I would only appreciate if some hard drug was involved. I might actually like it.
the hidden gem of your French in this video, quality product.
This was the video that started it all. I became hooked after this.
I like deep creep because you can spray with the can upside down and sideways. Good for when you're under cars, also it comes out slow and easy so it doesn't splash your eyes lol. I'm glad it works the best in this test
Heat and beat is very effective if you know where to heat and beat, this is slightly different than beating in the heat right Ave
I have just done these two videos at the same time and loved your tests. Wd40 and a hammer everytime :)
So it's all worthless... ah well. I mainly do it for the pleasing odor anyhow
With a multiday soak you do see a change so it has its uses. The workshop did a test that wasn't too bad for actual soaking. This kind of short term soak isnt a great representation of how most of us use this crap.
It’s a fine cologne. Seldom attracts the ladies, more often than not it’s the nosey coworker, neighbor, or master mechanic who owns no tools
Should have compared it to coffee. Black coffee. No sugar.
Can't be worse than the 4 cans of placebo.
My first job was in a transformer factory, my official title was 'Impregnation Engineer' :D
Sparky Projects Hellish job.....used to vacuum impregnate power transformers in a factory....used something called Isonel44
Sparky Projects you ever dangle your rusty bits in the askarel?😂
Actually that would stop them going rusty :D
Can't remember what i used, it was about 45 years ago, but yeah, vacuum and pressure cycles in a chamber with runny stuff, but also varnish dipping and oven drying.
I left after 9 months and installed/tested telephone exchanges for the next 5 years.
That sounds like a contradictory job title if you ask me... :D
Best vid I've seen in a loooooong time.
j'avais toujours trouvé ça étrange de vous entendre parler quelque mots de français , je comprend mieux maintenant :)
merci pour toute vos expériences et tutos ,
greetings from france (i hope reading french is less rusty than bolts from this video :p )
Hahaha love the "Yeah yeah, we can still be friends. Don't forget your hat."
Jeff Sims haha you did get the go f*** your hat reference. Nice.
"the grease that creeps," that's fscking savage.
I use Liquid Wrench for basically everything because it's not much more expensive than WD-40 and while it may not be as good for breaking rusty bolts, it IS really good at *preventing* rust. I have a substantial knife & sword collection, and one polish with some Le Squid Wench keeps 'em rust-free for *years* when not in use. I'd highly recommend it for protecting any steel items you don't use very often. And of course, if you have it around for that, you can just grab the can when you need to break something free, too. It's also not flammable in liquid form, though of course the propellant is.
I recommend that you check out project farm's version on testing penetration fluid. I'm curious to know your take.
Dye Penetrant/Fluorescent Penetrant Class IV works better than anything else. It's designed to find very small cracks so its capillary action is the best bar none.
Ever heard of Diego Garcia? It's the tiny tiny island. The US Navy has their corrosion research station. When I served, 30 years ago, the threat was always "You F up, we'll send you to DG."
Hell Uncle Bumblefuck, I'm starting to think you'd like it there! ;) Peace
learnelectronics I work at the next best place for corrosion testing. The Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai. We have 2500 miles of Pacific Ocean in every direction. A one point a long time ago we had all kinds of ordinance spread around on the ground. 304 stainless only lasted minimally longer then a good dipped galvanized.
I’ve been to DG, it’s hot, humid and has a lagoon full of a couple of thousands sharks....
It’s also the most beautiful place on earth I’ve ever visited!
Worked with a former Coast Guardsmen who was stationed on Attu and Shemya Islands back in the days when military personnel were sent there for secret spy stuff. He swore that it was the most interesting place the government ever sent him.
He got committed to a mental hospital shortly after that.
Brian Garrow it's certainly the kind if place that is truly away from prying eyes.....and only costs the US $10/year to rent from us Brits! I offered $11, but they knocked me back.
There were a few Americans there, that despite being in paradise, looked like they were going stir crazy!
Another Millennial it would appear the Pentagon are applying their $640 for a toilet seat procurement strategy again....
Had me rolling when he shut the light off and opened the door 😂
35 years ago we used to call Kroll oil "panther piss". We only saw it in drums, we never got it in spray cans... used it by the bucket in the refineries, always better by the bucket. We would put it around the bottom of the studs and you could almost watch it climbing through the nut.
I never have to guess where the hole is on the spray tip , right when I buy it , before ever spraying it , while the tip is still dry and clean , I take and insert the little red straw that comes with it into the tip , then take a generous glop of silly cone , load it up around the straw and tip , then let it set up for a couple days.That way I save on the product with a more centralized spray pattern , and best of all I don't have to hunt around for that dam little straw when I need one.
I still wonder about Oven Cleaner, I am amazed at what it do. Enjoyed watching your experimentations.
I soaked a part I found at an old mine site for fun in White Vinger and damn the rust is gone.
yep only thing bad about vinger it will eat the metel i perfer evepro rust.
Oven cleaner is mostly sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and is very caustic. It doesn't really touch rust, but it will dissolve aluminum and is fucking amazing on grease and oil. I would think you'd be better off using hydrochloric/muriatic acid, as they are excellent at dissolving rust.
Good for cleaning turbos that are jammed packed full of carbon laced greasy shmoo thats for sure...
If you think oven cleaner works great, which it certainly does. Try toilet bowl cleaner. Think about it, the stuff is made to get your toilet clean, including dissolving built up rush in the bowl. The active ingredient is hydrochloric acid, it may be dilluted but there is still plenty in even a cheap dollar store bottle to work wonders.
Came over here from Zip Ties n Bias Plys...Peg loves you so I had to check you out and after watching 3 videos I’m hooked👍🏻BTW I use kroil and I love that shit, we use only that product at the refineries and those bolts get heat cycled and sit out in the weather for years at up to 1,000lb ft and you can break them loose with wrenches😳
Omg! Played this one on the angry pixie powered mobile cancer box, with the volume up and the lady was turning her head like a cunfused pup. I died laughing. Great job worth every second!
The scientist in me is satisfied, pity he left without saying goodbye.
Well played!
I wonder if there isn't a bias going on with Kroil, something like: if you have the money for Kroil, you probably have the money for a good breaker bar.
Gerald Gepes Im a pretty poor guy actually but I buy kroil because it saves me money in the long run. If I can find better or equal for less money I'd be right on it.
I don't think the regular, non-aerosol Kroil is nearly that expensive.
from his earlier tests it seems WD40 works pretty well ... give that a shot maybe its cheap ;P
The point is that you need SOMETHING as a lubricant that can get in when you heat and beat it. At work on multi million doll-hair jet engines they give us Kroil. At home I buy PB blaster. At work, I can't necessarily take a blow torch to a fastener. Subsequently, I have to snap some bolts and worst case scenario, call someone whose job it is to drill that shit out. At home, I'm on my own so you bet your ass I'm using heat, impact guns, you name it. With heating and beating, I have better luck on my car that has 250k miles on it from the rust belt, than on a mostly titanium engine that sees almost no rust.
I love kroil because its free for me haha. I like free. In all honesty though it works great for coroded bolts in my acid unit at work but we use hammers on everything anyway.
Ce passage en français, je ne m'y attendais pas !
Eric O, from South Main Auto does an interesting video on every conceivable material you can think of to get an exhaust stud out of a cylinder head. It would be hard to say anything really worked other than hammering, heat and persistence.
Kroil is meant for super tight clearances. We used to use it at work to lube air bearings that had clearances of about 0.00005". Most other oils can't get through spaces that tight reliably.
So the old adage of "Don't force it. Get a bigger hammer" works then
I used to love Kroil, good stuff... could never find it in the store way back in the 80's...
LOL - I sprayed some sunburn spray (lidocaine) into my face and eyeholes. Yep that didn't feel great. In fact it didnt' feel at all.
