I think he planned on running it like it was. Just seemed to me that would be putting good money on top of bad doing that, but that's just me.

That stuff is unbelievable especially if you let it sit over night. I use it on scaffold jacks which are a bitch.

My uncle restores antique tractors and has rescued many of a frozen engine by using a tranny fluid/kerosene mixture. May have to let the engine sit for a few weeks but this mixture works.

I've used Marvel Mystery Oil before with success.
But I definitely agree with the previous statements about the cylinder wall damage...that engine will never seal correctly on the rings again, and will use oil like that is its job.

PB blaster is a fine product, especially for trailing arms.
