 That looks like the one.
I assume you're going to rebuild it?=C2=A0 Put at least 1oz in each cylinde=
r and rotate the engine so the fluid can cover the top of the piston.=C2=A0=
 Let it sit a few day then rotate so the other side can be fully covered.
Alternatively, you can fill the cylinders to soak.=C2=A0 It just takes a lo=
t more.

That looks like the stuff, although my supply is so old that it's in a
metal can.  Might qualify as an antique by now.

It has a distinctive smell, which I find particularly pleasing.  What
the mystery is is indeterminate, but it won't do any harm to put some
in the cylinders and let it soak before you turn it over.  Don't use
too much if you plan to try and crank it up.

My automotives prof at university in the late 1970s called all those things
"gas house drip".  I've always liked that descriptive term.  It's
probably pretty accurate, too.

I can't imagine that there's any significant difference between any of
those products for what you're trying to do, Sujit.  I'd guess than any
non-drying oil would probably work.  (For long-term storage of my engines
I've usually used a good shot of SAE-30 in the spark plug holes -- enough
to fully wet the perimeter of each piston so the rings get fully wetted.
 If you can turn the engine, it would probably be good to move the valves
for a different combination of open and closed across the cylinders, so the
ones open to moisture have a chance to be kept free and cycle another set
of cylinders open to ambient.

We used to make a cocktail of MMO, Acetone, and automatic trans fluid (???
could be in place of MMO) that we would pour into the old  stuck engines
that we came across....

I think there were some other lubricants/solvents in there as well :) but I
can't remember.   I remember one where I hung a cinder block from a cheater
pipe on the crank while it worked it's marvel magic. About a month later
the crank moved and the block was resting on the floor.   It did run, but
not well.  But was much easier to tear down vs stuck engine.
