Subject:Re: Using Gunk or other engine cleaning solvents!

In 1990, I bought a 1962 International Scout that had been perched on
barrels for 6 or 7 years waiting for someone to replace the rear diff.
After the driveline repair, I used liquid wrench thru the spark plug holes,
started it, and drove it for about 6 months.  Ran fine, no leaks, and the
frequent oil changes started coming out clean.

I then screwed up bad and used Rislone per the directions to flush the
engine.  Afterwards, every place that could possibly leak oil did so
impressively.  Not just the front & rear seals, but the pan gasket, side
cover gasket, fuel pump gasket, etc.  Probably because the were original and
had dried out.
