So I have soaked my pistons over night.
Was quite pleased with the condition of the plugs. Must be doing something right.

Only retrieved less than half of the Marvel Mystery Oil that I put in. Some may have run down the exhaust valves if any where open. One of the
cylinders didn't have any left in at all.
When I did the compression test last year I had 135 psi to 140 psi across all cylinders. This time I got 165 psi on 2 cylinders. 175 psi on 3
cylinders and 205 on one cylinder.
So in my mind there's been a definite improvement.
It gave a good smoke show when I started it up.

I used Marvel Mystery Oil. It's an American product. Just poured it down the spark plug holes.
I'd purchased an oil extraction pump from Lidl last weekend and it worked a treat.

I use MM oil in my air tools where it works a treat, Eds Red is a good homebrewed alternative and is cheap to make.
I had a siezed (from 15 years of corrosion and water ingress) tractor that i filled all 4 bores with Eds Red and left overnight - was free in the
morning and running in the afternoon.
