Default MMO success

Another plug for Marvels Mystery Oil. A good friend has just put a rebuilt engine in his car and then tried to crank it over. I had set for a good many years on his work bench, and he had run it some when he first had it built, but it has been over 10 years since that time and when he tried to crank it over, no luck. He told me he could move it with a long "cheater" handle, but wondered if I had a better suggestion. He assured me that there had been oil in the dipper try as he put a scope down the fill pipe and the trays were still full. Obviously het topped up the pan before cranking. I suggested that he put a half cup or so of Marvels Mystery Oil in each cylinder and let it sit overnight, or longer, so he did. This afternoon he cranked her over with the starter and could feel it turn ever so slightly on the first bump, so he bumped it a few more time and then turned the key on and fired right up. Sounds really good and he is going to look at the cylinder walls after it runs a bit, but the MMO id its job.
