What to use to free stuck rings??
« on: November 12, 2015 - 09:21:21 AM »
So, as the title says, stuck rings.

All the rings on this 318 are stuck. Can someone tell me what to use to get them unstuck.  Aside from a machinest and new parts.

Dump marvel in there and let it sit for 2 days then try to crank it over or turn the crank.

So, Diesel, ATF, and Marvel.  Followed by ajax and comet.   Sounds like a hell of a cocktail.

I like the corrosionX.  Probably just because I don't have any of it.  Has anyone used the corrosionx for this purpose?
