Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

A mechanic used to swear by engine oil/grease/? mix as a rustproofer brushed or poured on.

Oh it works but it stinks to high heaven and there are carcinegenic risks too. I read too that it doesn't last long and can actually hasten rust in some areas. Waxoyl was good, but it's long been superceded. Bilt Hamber waxes are far better and easier to apply. Dinotrol is another. You can tell I drive a 90's Jap car. 😮😁

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
