Re: [FWDLK] Fw: Frozen engine

["Mark Allen \(Marshfield\)" <MarkA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can vouch for the Kryoil (pronounced cry-oil).  It was suggested to me by
a guy that rebuilds aircraft engines.  It has never failed him and so far it
has worked for me.  I use it everywhere.  I bought a gallon at a machine
shop supply place years ago.  You might try that or you might try any place
that sells quality tools - they should have quality oils too.
Good luck
Mark
