kicker Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 A quick google search doesn't show any mention of milk being useful for unseizing an engine but it did turn up Mouse Milk which is a penetrating oil http://www.mousemilk.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrx Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I use mouse milk, great stuff, waaaay thinner than CRC, smells like solvent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 As the milk ferments and bacteria eats sugar they make acid, maybe this is some explanation? Acid is the go-to for dissolving/removing rust, just barrys never go that extra step and find causation. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I have an engine that's been seized since the late '80s. Maybe I should try the milk thing on it and see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Barry science has me wondering what else has been used to try unseize an engine/achieve any other task, right now there could be one filled with Campbells soup, another with Vicks Formula 44, another with Banana Boat SPF50 sunscreen... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I bet you could put the plugs back into your engine too so as the milk produces gas and things pressurise it pushes the milky acid down into the rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfashark Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 3 hours ago, Seedy Al said: That..... seems interesting indeed. Wonder what is so great about milk. Given how horrifically corrosive milk is, it's hardly surprising. We see shit that farmers cobble together from galv pipe and various other materials to transfer milk for calves around this time of year, and something like a 20mm galv trough filler will dissolve over about 3 months of use with milk - And that's fresh-ish milk, let alone stuff that's been left to go right off.

igor Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 You should see concrete troughs that have been repeatedly used to store skim milk to feed pigs for many years. So much erosion of the surface / way to get maximum exposed aggregate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yeah well the news flash is that sugars get converted to acid by bacteria and acid is corrosive. Its how we get fermented food and booze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Wonder if I need to make something like this but not an actual damper but instead a solid adjuster to eliminate the the tensioner ability side of the tensioner completely. ...
