:confused: Slowly disassembling the engine. Everything moved rather easily with a 12 inch breaker bar when I tried to remove the clutch. I had soaked valve parts, cam, crank, cylinder bores, etc. w/Kroil for about 3 months. Pistons not out yet, but cylinders look surprisingly smooth so far...

About 30 years ago we used a lot of Loctite products in manufacturing. At one of their seminars I learned about Loctite anti-seize and was given some samples. I used it a lot of places when rebuilding a '65 Mustang engine and a couple others. Then it became a Permatex brand and my latest can is...

My first post with the new site, let's see if it works! Like other "posters" I am still getting used to the new format. So far, it looks great! I especially like the way answering posts are displayed. Question: Since the format is very new, I wonder if eventually the posting dates will appear...
