Engine in a can?

Recently I was driving through the mountains of metropolis and I started hearing a knocking sound coming from the engine my 76. Knowing that this might happen one day, I always carry a can of this

I installed it and the knocking disappeared.

This should be something that everyone should have in their storage compartment in case of emergency.

Hi 76,
The possibilities of modern science ARE endless.
Think about it…. "Restoration in a Can".
You hook it to your hi-pressure sprayer like 'house wash', and then spray the car….. inside, outside, and underneath. Done!!!!
For people like me with base engine cars…. "Horsepower in a Can"!!!
And for the follicley challenged…. "Hair in a Can"!!!
Regards,
Alan

Too funny I heard about this stuff other companies make it too I was really skeptical but I did try it
Shazam!!! it was a miracle i stopped leaking fluids and performance increased!!! the car even ran better so I put the decal on it to gain 5 HP. I am a mechanical egineer so I know and you can trust me.

Not yet, but there is a universal A/C putty repair kit available, and if you call in the next 15 min. they will throw in a tube of miracle RTV.

The title threw me at first. I have a 289 in a can (55 gal drum), so that was my first thought. That stuff works great, but will gum up your ashtray light if you're not careful.

My personal favorite is the "New Tires in a Can", if you finally realize your tires have compromised sidewalls due to chronic under-inflation.

Don't use the "Double pumper" can unless unless you need "Racing Tires"

I heard that wiring in a can is under development. I hope it's true. Sure would help me get my car back together.
