IE.. add a quart of atf.. run her till warm, then drain. might want to get a few of the cheapy 3$ fram C3 filters on hand depending on how bad the oil looks.. if it comes out like chunky tar.. plan on some oil changes.. :) ps.. entirely possible to have bad oil ring and good compression rings. also.. can have bad compression and oil rings.. but comp may stay up due to the extra oil sealingthe comp rings. etc. [Reply]  [No Email]

Spin the motor with the plugs out to flush the cylinders before attempting to start. Mix a quart of ATF with five gallons of gas. I would not recommend putting ATF in the crank case - There's no telling how gunked up the crank case and the last thing you want is to clog the oil pump screen. A more conservative approach would be frequent oil changes using High Detergent oil - Change it and the filter when the oil turns black. [Reply]  [No Email]
