|
|
I'm overhauling a F134. The heads removed and the valve springs are removed. The valves are stuck in the guides. Any suggestions? Anyone dealt with this before? I tried searching this but no luck. |

I was on the right track then. I have hit the valve stems with a rubber shot hammer, and tapped with a little ball peen but the valves aren't deformed in any way. I was thinking about heat, but I'll go fetch a brass hammer and get to work. Thanks Wes, your help is much appreciated! |

Hi Wes. No intent to hijack the post, but I've seen your other posts about Mouse Milk and have been curious because I never heard of it before here. I maybe interested to order 8 ounces for $21 delivered (steep compared to PB Blaster) just to make the difference between success and failure when I need it most, but have a question: the link says:
"Opened Container: Product will develop light brown tint within 30 days. Airborne particles will contaminate the product and the volatile ingredients will dissipate rapidly. Product will become ineffective as penetrating oil after 30 days."
Have you experienced this? Does it really become useless a month after opening, even closing the container right away? What kind of evaporation or chemical reaction does that? Eight ounces seems like a lot for any job I can think of (save them all up for a month at a time?), but I'm a rookie and appreciate the advice. _________________ Ron D.

Seems we can't get mouse milk up here in Canada. I've been using Kroil. Still not moving. Heat.... squirt... hit. Repeat. |

Oh, I ain't done with that miserable lump of metal yet, Wes. I'm a very stubborn old man. |

I got it. Heat cycled #4 and #3 about 20x with a penetrating oil cool down. Got em both out. Bad news is the head is corroded so bad inside it's not reparable. But thanks again Wes. Having you and the site as backup is a godsend sometimes, thanks for doing what you do. |
