With inflation and the cost of just keeping food on the table getting unbearable, I want to throw a out a little heads up on some Dollar Tree spray lubricant I've used for a few auto and home improvement projects and this stuff really is good for $1.25 compared to WD40 or PB Blaster which are getting very expensive these days. So take my word for it this works great as a stand alone lube and as a rusted fastener/bolt loosener.

I whip up my own batch of liquid wrench, or pb blaster using a 50/50 mix of atf, or marvel mystery oil, and acetone I have lying around the shelf.
 
i am not impressed with the one bottle can of PB blaster i bot
might try that ATF acetone potion when i have to drain some from the Gen2

how do you get it into a spray can to spray?

I cant get over how good this stuff works for a $1.25, i just picked up a can in the store works great in any application Ive used it on, i noticed a small weeny can of WD40 is around $6-$8:mad: now depending on where you get it, this stuff actually works better and seeps in to rusted bolts better, its more like PB Blaster with a foaming type spray.

try that Dollar Tree spray lube for a buck twenty five you can soak them bolts for days and it works, seeps in there cause it has a foaming type spray gets deep into the threads, i used it to free up a LBJ adjusting cam bolt, hosed it done let it do its magic overnite and that SOB came unfrozen no more creaking like an old barn door.

there are a couple of funky looking o2 sensor nuts on the bung that have been on for about 5 years since catBack mod
they are looking crusty and need replaced with new nuts and perhaps a new O2 sensor that has yet to trigger any CEL codes after 27 years of service


segue... are you the same billssr5 from that other rag known as TW?
i remember a userID that was similar from the quality years spent before they got all fed up with this taco guy
