After all the discussions here and the occasional praise for Kroil here and elsewhere, I went to their website and purchased their Introductory Package.
I just received it from Kroil this afternoon. I will be testing it later today on some quite-vintage bolts on my wife's Volvo. If it is the Miracle-Formula as-promised, I will be quite pleased.
Just give it overnight to soak in. May work sooner on some things. When working I used about a can a month or more, sometimes a can a day dpending on the jobs. Just glad the company I worked for was buying it.
This was a very large plant and I bet we used over a case a week when the company was going full blast.

A machinist friend of mine swears by Kroil, to the point of derision by oth ers when the subject comes up. Many years ago, one of my buddies drilled o ut a steel plate and welded in like 8 bolts to it. We buried it in his bac k yard near the wetlands part of his lot and planned to dig it up in two ye ars and use it as fairly well controlled test bed for various elixirs. Unf ortunately, he moved and we forgot to dig it back up.
Most evidence I've found on the subject is anecdotal. Without a control th ere's no way of knowing if one of these solutions would have worked better or worse than any other.
I am no great believer in miracles and/or instant gratification. Overnight is good enough for me (and you are the second with this advice). stripped heads are no fun at all.
I am doing the fuel pressure sensor on a Volvo XC70, one (1) torx bolt. Also the MAF sensor, but that is a plastic part held in with hose clamps. No biggie.
I got a jelly jar full of Kroil from a neighbor. It seems to be better than other stuff.. but it's always hard to tell. I've never tried the 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone.
