RE: unlocking pistons?

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've heard that a mixture of acetone and ATF will outperform all of the 
commercially available solvents.  I know that the ATF has amazing 
viscosity.  I was brazing a fitting for a temp gauge into my 
transmission pan.  To check it for leaks I filled the pan with water and 
let it sit for an hour or so, bone dry.  Put it back on the car and 
filled the transmission and it immediately started dripping.  
But I also know that all of the other products mentioned also work well. 
 Any chance this is motor is something fun and exotic like a 392 hemi 
or???
