Getting ready to disassemble a Corvair. I don't have any air tools/compressor. It would cost close to $300 for a impact wrench, compressor and hose. Is it worth it? Thanks!

You don't need any air tools to disassemble a Corvair engine, just a 
	


regular 3/8" socket set. And a compressor you can buy for under $300 

will not produce enough air for an impact wrench anyway.

Penetrating oil, some heat, elbow grease and a mastery of colorful language are all you need.

"Penetrating oil, some heat, elbow grease and a mastery of colorful language are all you need."

 

If you use Kroil from Kano Labs as the penetrating oil, you can replace the heat with beer (while you wait for the Kroil to work its magic). The rest of the list stays the same.

I used the magic juice of ATF and acetone to disassemble my 

Corvair engine. when I first heard of the formula I thought it was some

folklore. When I tried it on some rusty tractor implements it made me a believer. 



Be sure to use it on the Corvair head nuts to avoid pulling the studs 

out of the case.

I'll put that formula in my bag of tricks.

One recipe that I use is a mix of wintergreen oil and ATF. If I remember 

correctly the mix is about 5-10 % wintergreen in the ATF.  You have to 

give it overnight, at least, and a couple of days is better, with 

applications every 12 hrs or so.  It's surprised me more than once when 

I used it as a last ditch effort.

The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, 

understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. 

And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, 

egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men 

admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
