it's only to break the bond between the rust and the metal. It won't weaken the steel

Exactly what a torch does. Breaks the bond. Freezong breaks it, too.

It's not like liquid nitrogen. It's like a penetrating oil with a different propellent like canned air. The last time I used it was on the drain plug of 231 from under the salt rim of NY state. I heated up the case gently with a small torch then shot just the plug with a small amount. Broke free right then.

I'd feel bad for the spiders in the corners if it was liquid nit. Oh the humanity.

My 99 has little plugs in the valve cover bolt holes, does the new gasket come with new plugs?
