I need your tricks to fix a sticky lifter
« on: February 02, 2005, 08:12:52 AM »

After my 8v sat again for a month, the lifters are making a lot of noise. Any tricks to get them filled again?

ATF and drive it a bit - not drive the piss out of it.  You don't want that stuff in there everywhere under big loads for long times.  At least that is how I understand it.  The ATF has a much bigger detergent additive package I guess which helps loosen up crud deposits, etc.  

Try running synthetic oil after running the ATF through and see if that helps.  Generic synthetic is pretty cheap.

Porsche 944s had issues with the oil getting into the coolant system - at the dealerships they used to fix the heat exchanger, then get some powdered laundry soap and pour that with water into the coolant tank.  Then run the shit.  Then drain and rinse and drain.  Kid you not.

marvel mystery oil..  Thie site this article is from is talking piper cubs but its still the same use.  They sell it at like every autoparts store.



"The TCP/Marvel Mystery Oil option: These are most likely about the same thing, with small changes in the recipe, so as not to infringe on another's copyright. Both are high in detergents to do the cleaning job. Neither should be used for the first time on a high time engine; about half TBO or less should be the cut-off time, for first use.

# IN OIL SYSTEM

Use one pint Marvel Mystery Oil about 5 hours before oil change. If screen type system, be sure to clean screen. Then, in the new oil, install one-half pint MMO. This cleans the carbon and sludge collected in the engine passages and crevices and hydraulic lifters, and stores it in the bottom of the oil kidney. Some will make it to the screen, but either place it will be removed at oil change.

# IN THE FUEL SYSTEM

Use the directions on the back for amount to put in the fuel per gallon of fuel (4 to 6 oz. per 10 gallons of fuel). MMO goes through the carburetor as a droplet, broken up like the fuel. When it enters the combustion chamber and the gasoline ignites, it is vaporized and soaks into the carbon buildup on cumbustion chamber walls, valve guides, around the valve stem, and on the spark plug. It soaks into the carbon and eventually loosens it up and it goes out the exhaust system.

Now you know how it works, I will neither recommend or not recommend the procedure. Like Fox News says,"I report and you decide". I do know it will help when lifters start to be lazy and not do their job. When valves are beginning to stick, it will free then up. Some people swear by it, some people swear at it, but results is what really tells the tale. "
