Re: MMO in the Gas
Brent,
Please don't underestimate the effect of modern lubricating oil. Just a hint of an oil film thickness of 0.0003 mm is enough to lubricate cylinder & piston with the highest loads. In order to wet the four large cylinder and piston surfaces smear-proof, that is about two small drops of oil distribution. Nevertheless, the additives, which are only introduced in microscopic traces, have a reliable effect. In addition, the note that water-cooled two-stroke engines in the medium performance range with modern lubricating oil 1:400 is sufficient. The exhaust valve stems also benefit from a little MMO lubricating oil in the petrol, because when the valves overlap at dead center, a tiny bit of fuel is always lost into the exhaust and this also lubricates the glowing exhaust valve stem. At Swoboda: A lot is good - that's not always right. The MMO is an additized white oil that contains detergents. Very little is enough for the additional cleaning and lubricating effect. If you take too much, this has no additional advantage, but the white oil leaves ash in the combustion chamber and smoke. Stickswift, please, tell me what is 'HAMP'? I shot the MMO Oiler on Ebay USA. Unused, in the original dusty box with guarantee certificate.A lot of money for this part with tax fees and flight bill. I added an oil level glass to the side. It's a great piece of technical equipment that looks good, fits the car, works well and, above all, makes the child in man laugh.

Re: MMO in the Gas
Werner, My apologies. I meant to say HAMB. I don't know why I wrote HAMP because the "P" and "B" keys aren't even close to each other. Here is what I saw.

As far as the effect on valves and guides, consider the exhaust valves: No Marvel Mystery Oil ever reaches the exhaust valve or guide because it gets burned up during the combustion cycle and any residue just gets blown out the exhaust! |

Re: MMO in the Gas
How can MMO "quiet" the valves?? It is a thin oil so it can't 'cushion' any wear in the guides, nor can it compensate for excessive lash! Model A's don't have hydraulic lifters that may gum up so MMO can't help with that. What's left?

Re: MMO in the Gas
So many people do. I had a distributor that was frozen with rust....dropped it in some good old MMO for a week and I was able to turn it with a screw driver.....dropped it back in for a few weeks and it spins like a brand new distributor...poped it in a car and it ran just fine...all I can say is its a Mystery and I love it....lol

Re: MMO in the Gas
When I was much younger man, I worked at a BIG TIME service station that also did towing, and auto repairs. A customer came in and had a lifter ticking. Supply house brought over a can of MMO. Dumped it in the crankcase. The customer was told it works half the time, and it is worth a try. A couple tanks of gas later the customer was in for another fillup. As I was washing the windshield I asked him. He said in a minute when you are done you can hear me start it back up. Ticking all gone...
Chemical analysis all you want, it worked. Lots cheaper than tearing the top end down. |

Re: MMO in the Gas
Who said anything about not liking it. I am only trying to understand how the claims being made are possible. For example, someone thought it may have detergents in it however I read where most modern fuels have additives and detergents in them straight from the pump.

Way back in biblical times it was told to the people that would listen that faith could move mountains! Have faith.

Top Tier gasolines do, like Chevron-Mobil-Shell-Phillips/Conoco-BP for example. That leaves out Pilot or Love's They skimp on the additives and detergents to save a few pennies to draw you in to buy their gasoline. Steer clear of that stuff............ |
