<BIG GRIN> The Jetta 1.8 RV engine that I have installed into my '90 "Bare Bones" Vanagon has a thin brown coating, like a lacquer, on the inside of the engine (block and head). I imagine it is from infrequent oil changes or was just plain run very hot. I thought that perhaps a MMO/Delo 400 15w40 cocktail mixed at about 1:3 would work its magic and clean all the insides to a spic and span condition when I finally get it running. As long as I have it, I'll have to try some mixed with the gasoline too...yummy. -Dana- > Don't go throwing that MMO on your steaks now!!! > > ______________ > |[ ] [ ] [ ]\ > | | | | > ~~~ ~||-(())----(())-| > > Terry-- > 74 Campmobile- (Clementine) > 85 GL- (Delilah) > 86 BMW 325 ES- (Eva) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Part 1.2 Type: Microsoft MHTML Document 4.0 (Message/RFC822) > Encoding: 7Bit |
