Yes, that's what it was originally formulated for and the one thing it is excellent at! I hear it also makes a very good lubricant for machining aluminum, although I stick with Realton A-9. It's ironic that the 2 primary reasons people buy it (lubrication & rust prevention) are 2 of the things it performs poorly at.SpeedyManiac said:WD40 has its place. WD stands for water dispersing. I use it on my chain after washing the bike to remove all the water.
You are correct,but MESSY! I do believe I hugged the first set of cases that were machined and had no gasket! Unless it is a real leaker I avoid using #2,and it smells like it! True blue pipe sealant is the only other chemical I have encountered that stains and is as messy as #2!bclark001 said:permatex #2 is good for bike because it designed to handle extreme vibrations and I believe has a pretty high heat rating correct?
correct me if I'm wrong

Although not as messy, any of the high sulphur (dark) cutting fluids commonly used in threading seem to stain anything it touches. Back when I was using it frequently, I didn't have any clothes left that didn't have dark brown spots on them.whenfoxforks-ruled said:...True blue pipe sealant is the only other chemical I have encountered that stains and is as messy as #2!
Wise words! 9 times out of 10, the Ex-Out snaps off and you've now compounded the problem. I might get $20 to remove a broken or stripped bolt/screw/stud whatever. Bring it to me with an Ez-Out broken off in a hole drilled off center and it's going to be at least $120! They have a purpose, but extracting a frozen bolt that you just twisted the head off of isn't one of them.76GMC1500 said:...I skip the Ez-Out step all together...
That sounds dangerously close to spam...whenfoxforks-ruled said:The best gas,and the best oils,http://www.precisionautoresearch.com/page4.html, that was simple!
