My great grandfather used the stuff on hid knees for his arthritis...Good stuff. I use it when I have to pick a lock.
Yes, Liquid wrench is great for locks. It's loaded with graplite. That's what gives it that dark colorThe Lock Smiths that I learned how to work locks from used Liquid Wrench and swore by it.
Putting an abrasive in your cylinder is ignorant and isn't an old trick toBon Ami, Baking Soda, Ajax, etc. etc.
opti2 is a new 2 stroke oil that "supposedly" can be thinned out to 100:1 but i dont by it im going to buy some and see how it does at 40:1 maybe 50:1Putting an abrasive in your cylinder is ignorant and isn't an old trick to
seat your rings but a myth. Kind of like adding sugar to your gas so your motor can run sweet.
It's great if you have the time to slowly break in your motors but if your like me and only use your motor for racing. Then wd40 is the quickest way.
Can I ask why would you run a 75:1 ratio on a motor that actually has a load on it? I can understand doing it on an airplane motor because it doesn't have a load on it. Lubrication is the most important aspect for prolonging the life of a two stroke moter. Why would you want to deprive a motor of oil? Isn't that like running your car a few quarts low of oil?
A myth? Hardly not. My brother worked as a mechanic at a Massey Ferguson dealer and it was common practice to seat new chrome rings using Bon Ami. In fact it was common at most tractor dealers years ago to help seat the harder rings that were being made. In fact..it is common practice for the old gas engine collectors. Not something I would try personaly, but it is hardly a myth. Do a google saearch and you will find many who have done it. Like I said..I wouldn't do it, but it has been done alot over the years with some success by some and failures by others.Putting an abrasive in your cylinder is ignorant and isn't an old trick to

First you write this and now you're racing high quality airplanes? No offense but there's a difference between the weight of a 200lb person on a bicycle compared to a 3 lb prop to put a load on a motor. I see other things I can rant about your post but I really don't need to turn this into a pissing match. This is about break ins. I agree with Scotto and run the crap out of your motor from day one. Realistically, most people including myself don't have the patience to ride slow for the first couple of tank fulls. Especially for a motor that cost under $200.my hobby of building and converting 2 stroke trimmer engines into model aircraft engines for several years.
Sorry but we're talking about or "abput" small 2 stroke motors not large diesel motors. I admitted I didn't know what Bon ami was. On your next motor break in let me know how the bonami works. Personally I wouldn't shove a powder down my carberator intake or down my cylinder.The Bonami powder is not a myth. I've also heard the stories from old time mechanics abput using it to seat the rings in large diesel engines in the past.
I sure wasn't suggesting anyone use it or attempt it. I was just saying when I read the bit about using wd-40 to seat the rings that it reminded me of other ring seating tricks I have read in the past. Didn't mean to imply that your method of using wd-40 is wrong even though I probably wouldn't do that either, but like I said...you say it works good for you, so please share your experience with it and let the readers decide.On your next motor break in let me know how the bonami works. .
