Thinking about buying some. Whats the best price you have found for it, and where did you get it?

Is it true that you can "use baking soda in a pinch"?Ive heard of cleaning"comet" type powders also.What is the real stuff,chemically?

i got some right from total seal. it's not expensive for what it 'can' do. (quickly seating rings is not a bad thing... :wink: )

i think it was around $10-20 bucks??? call and find out

As far as i understand it, the powder is just there to tell you when the walls are 100% oil free. In theory if you are methodical about cleaning and drying them you should be good to go . Remember the idea is to run the rings in dry. Maybe that's why comet would work, as it would change color if there was any moisture.

I would not put comet in an engine. Chlorine does bad things to all metals and oil as well.

"Bar Keeper's Friend" cleanser might work better- no chlorine. The Oxalic acid removes rust (H2 C2 O4-2H2O) and wouldn't hurt aluminum, like caustics I think.

yeah certainly wasn't an endorsement. just get it dry.

if you want to get it dry use some of that orange cleaner crap. the best degreaser i've ever seen that is practically harmless. (unless swallowed of course :roll: )

So are you guys saying that this stuff just shows moisture on the cyl walls?
