Not only that, but the way WD40 works is to break down the grease or oil in a hinge or whatever, and make it flow back into place, eliminating the squeak.It dissolves the grease to make it flow.....Image that in your motor....basically stripping the oil off the sleeve and piston......That and it is very volatile, so when you fire up the motor, it might just blow....maybe...
