    After reading the forums we still need some clarity on where the Kroil oil should go to help release the core. Tony states 4 to 6 ozs in the air side. Stupid newbie question but where exactly on the air side, the large port / pipe opening air inlet coming off the turbo? Weā€™re using the Kroil penetrating oil from Seaboards kit and by the sounds of it weā€™ll be needing more. Do we use the penetrating oil for the air side or wd40 etc? Also, when this is poured in do we keep the opposite side cap on and vice versa when itā€™s flipped to soak? Where is the oil poured in when itā€™s flipped over or do we add any when itā€™s flipped over?

    You are simply trying to get the oil around the ends where the caps are from the inside. This will assist with pressing out the core. Just pour it in either air-in/ air out ports then flip it cap down then flip over and cap down again. Give it time to work .
