IIRC it was either brake fluid or transmission fluid. I'll search my
archives to see what I can find.

This is a bit off subject, but a while ago there was some suggestions for using MEK and something else I think for a good rusty bolt penetrating liquid.
Can anyone forward me the thread or suggest what the other ingredient was?
Thanks!
PS
My inspection is set for this Wednesday

This is the information you were looking for.
==========
Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants for break out torque on rusted nuts. They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment. The results are as follows;
Penetrating oil..... Average load
None ............ ......516 pounds
WD-40 ................238 pounds
PB Blaster ............214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ..... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50-50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone.

I use the acetone and atf and always thought it superior to all the other commercial stuff. Guess it is.
