In regards to all the stuck enignes out there.
A local machine shop did a test (rusted bolt back-out torque readings) on all top selling penitrating oils verses there home brew of 50-50 Acetone/AFT. And this brew out performed all the top sellers.... Everone give it a try and let me know.

We have been using that mix for a while now with good results. I don't know if it is any better than the other penetrants on the market, but we have noticed that this stuff creeps like crazy. When it finds a crack, it follows it.

Good luck & keep it bottled tight.
