    I was in a head shop the other day and they use this gear called Cold Dip (thats what was written on the drum) they just leave all the gear in a pan overnight and its good as new in the morning.

    gotta watch some of those industrial dips with alloy especially the hot ones. put some pistons and alloy covers (off a holden 6) in one over night and only had the rods left in the morning the alloy was just a shiny scum floating on the top

    i have black shit on my pistons too. engine still runs. blows no smoke. meh.
    i saw it with one of them fiber optic thingos. then i proceeded to stick it up my nose to see what was up there
    I've had one of those up my nose (looking at a throat problem, heart burn etc), not pleasant at all! Specially when it forces past the bulb in the nose (way up in there)... makes me shudder thinkin about it !
