OK Get read for the argument to start.
Set your lifters by setting the rocker arm adjusting screw at one turn
down after they just touch the valve stem.
Run a quart of Marvel Mystery oil in your engine for about 300 miles. Be
sure not to overfill your crankcase.
This procedure should de-sludge your engine, loosen up the lifters, clean
your rings and engine internal parts.
I know this sound like the *take two aspirin* solution but it normally
works.
