Instead I sprayed the engine and underside with LPS-3 in the hope it

they have loosened easily when I did need to remove them years
later,
but a few hidden ones rusted and were much harder to remove.

Didn't the waxy film of LPS-3 (I've not used it yet) cause the
engine
to act like a dirt magnet?

It can be wiped off flat surfaces.

Which: the goop, the dirt, or both?
