What is best penetrating oil to use to free off the pin. Not in any hurry so can afford to make many applications to free it up. Thanks pMcC

Plusgas seems pretty good.. or ATF.

Plusgas or Wurth's Rost-off which I think is better, I get the neat liquid rather than the aerosol, but the first time I used the aerosol I was amazed as I watched the rust wash out of the blind hole the rocker cover spring clip sits in which was full of rust , the spring wouldn't easily move even with prybar under it and I didn't want to force the spring and shear the spring (which I have seen happen) leaving the remnant stuck in the head - a couple or 5 applications and it was free swivelling. Once removed and inspected there was about 1/3 of the steel gone for good, so replaced it, the new genuine one is still on the engine now and the cover (also genuine, as was gasket) has never leaked
