I would not recommend it to be used as a penetrating oil. There are much better choices. Now, if you're trying to dry out the distributor on your Land Rover...
Well, I hosed everything generously with PB Blaster, and I'm going to hose them again before I head off to work; I got the spindle off the left assembly,...

G'Day Mark, The new dual core Pentiums are getting some really good write ups in the magazines that test them. I would be looking at 1 Gig of ram minimum for...
