[NoVa-Corvairs] Saturday Meeting

[rvtum at aol.com]

Curt,
 
L.D. convinced me on the kerosene approach.  I'm going to start the treatment tonight with the liquid wrench and I'll see how it goes for a couple of weeks worth of soaking.  I'll keep you posted.  On another issue, I've called 3 different radiator shops to see if they would boil my NOS gas tank for the 64.  Two declined due to insurance restrictions and the other wouldn't touch it.  I'm going to try one more shop in Manassas that my brother-in-law told me about tomorrow.  Does anyone have any recommendations? If I have no luck, I have 3 quarts of Marine Clean on hand and plenty of gravel.  I guess I'll give it a shot this weekend.  If I can't get it clean enough I'll have to bite the bullet and get a new tank.    
 
Ron

Ron:

Don't forget that L. D. and I removed the spark plugs from the '65.  L.
D. suggested you put kerosine in the cylinders and keep refilling them if
they empty.  You maybe able to use a ATF funnel to add the kerosine
through the spark plug holes.  It would help if you could add some Liquid
Wrench type fluid to the kerosine.  What helps is something that lowers
the surface tension of the kerosine to help it creep down around and past
the rings.  Liquid Wrench has this sort of additive in it.  It may take
weeks to get results and possibly you may never be able to loosen them
this way.
