I've never torn an engine down that far and not used new rings. I have reasebled with only a ball hone if it was in spec.
I'm a Rislone man myself ....But either one will make fantastic amounts of smoke LOLYes, valve seals and trickle some Marvel Mystery Oil down the carb at a couple thousand rpm. That'll blast the carbon out and free up sticky rings.
Another great product. I used to trickle a Coke bottle of water down the carb. That works too. Just a trickle though!I'm a Rislone man myself ....But either one will make fantastic amounts of smoke LOL
Will do. Thanks again FABO brothers!All are fine suggestions and if one works, you've saved some money and a lot of extra labor for sure. Good luck and keep us posted!
Thanks for the replies. I have read that misting water from a spray bottle down the carb will "steam clean" the valves. I may give that a try and get some new seals on them. Will pull that PCV and make sure it is still in good working order. True, oil is cheaper than a rebuild, but that carbon coking will keep building up and become quite a restriction.
That works too. High detergent. (not Tide Pods either) LOLI like atf. Lubes while it cleans
Mm oil is just a expensive alt to atf
And the 'if one works' is the operative word....that level of oil consumption could be seals but it could be rings too. I don't know how to 100% determine which of the 2 possibilities it is.All are fine suggestions and if one works, you've saved some money and a lot of extra labor for sure.

Good point. Thank you.And the 'if one works' is the operative word....that level of oil consumption could be seals but it could be rings too. I don't know how to 100% determine which of the 2 possibilities it is.
BTW, as far as the carbon on the intake valves, I think I would go with the MMO or Rislone. The water might break off bigger chunks of the carbon; I'd rather dissolve it off.
