If you think you have stuck rings, soak them in MMM, for about a week. It will smoke like crazy for a little while when you finally start it, but this remedy does work. Knew an old Polish guy many years ago that had a 59 Caddy with stuck rings. Loaded up the cylinders with MMM, and a week later, he fired it up and drove to Fla. No oil consumption on the trip. Try it anyway. Might just save you a teardown. ______________ |[ ] [ ] [ ]\ | | | | ||-(())----(())-| Terry 85 GL |
