Jim, Thanks for sharing. Sure looks like it will make a nice display when you are done.
Did you use the punch to clean the rust or to free up a stuck piston?
Thanks, Daron
Daron, I use the "punch" to free up stuck pistons and valves. BTW, it is not Hawaiian Punch, but a 50/50 mix of diesel and ATF. Works great on loosening up engines which had gotten water down the exhaust stacks. JIm.
jim,
what is ATF, that you used in the 50/50 mix?
Chriscokid, ATF is Automatic Tramsmission Fluid. Its is a great penetrant and does not evavorate. It also has additives to clean varnish and crud in tight places. It works great in freeing stuck cylinders. Jim.
The last one I freed up was combination of ATF and Marvel Mystery Oil because I ran out of Marvel. Might not work again but it did on that one.
