Afternoon !
OK i want to share some information with my dear friends on the Omega forum !
I have seen many postings in the past referring to seized manifoild studs/nuts, front wishbone bolts being rusted to buggery etc etc !
OK i have been searching high and low for an answer to these little problems and have come up with something quite fantastic !
Ambersil make a product called " Rust Flash" , its a VERY high quality penetrating oil coupled with a freezing agent ! Its works by litterally shocking the rust to fracture at -40C and when these little fractures occur the pnetrating oil seeps in under capilery action, the action is INSTANT so NO STANDING AROUND !
I have tried it on a few VERY seized and rusty nuts/bolts and a few manifold studs/nuts. It works perfectly !!!
A word of warning though, as with most studs, and twisting action ( side to side) movement of the spanner /socket is likely to start the stud fracturing /breaking , so bear that in mind !
This product is the dogs pink bits and i'm very immpressed indeed !
The price for a 500ml can is around £3 to £6 depending on where you can buy it ! Most Engineers Factors will sell it, but usually only in box's of 12 cans !
It can be brought on the internet, but postage can be as much or more than the value of the product its self !
If you can get hold of a can, try it, i'm 100% sure you will be gob smacked !!!
Remember - AMBERSIL RUST FLASH is what your looking for !
Anyone who has had any dealings with this stuff already , i'd love to see some feed back on it please !
Cheers
Mark
