Subject:Re; Marvelous Mystery Oil, and stuck rings.

Yo, Joltan!
Take the spark plugs out of the engine,
Load up each cylinder with Marvelous Mystery Oil, put the plugs back in
the engine, let it soak for about a week.
Pull the plugs out, and crank it a couple of turns, to avoid hydraulic
lock, put the plugs back in, and see what happens.
IF, and I mean IF, you have a stuck ring, this will 9 times out of ten
free them up.
However, how have you determined that you have a stuck ring, and not
just a good old fashioned worn out cylinders?
Nothing you can do, with a "miracle in a can" will replace worn out,
gone bye, bye, metal, not even Marvelous Mystery Oil.
You have of course, taken a compression reading on all the
holes---right?

Later,
