Re: MMO in the Gas
Ok, for those who say it makes noises go away, or lubricates the top-end, coats fuel tanks, or that it can keep valves from sticking, ...please help me wrap my head around these thoughts.
We are talking 1 ounce of oil to 320 ounces of gasoline (4oz to 10 gallons of gasoline)! Think about that for a sec. Based on the dilution ratio of that oil, it seems to be a very minute amount to me. Next, the valve guide is not really in the path of where the air/fuel/oil travels, so does the valve stem really see any benefit? Especially in not causing a valve to stick in an L-head engine?? I would think not. So the final thing is, the upper-end of a Model-A engine is just the cylinder head. Not sure exactly what would benefit there from MM oil.
Again, maybe I am wrong in all of this but I struggle seeing a benefit.
