I am 59 when I was 17 I had a 76 trans am with a 400 engine in it . The lifters would start making a loud clattering sound. And I was told to put marvel mystery oil in my oil when I changed it, and it would literally take the sound away. So I know from experience 100% that marvel mystery oil works and it’s been around for a very long time. PS thanks for all the videos that you do.

True story: I used to put MM Oil in a 1995 Toyota Camry that I had years ago. I would pour about 3/4 of it into the engine and the remaining 1/4 into the fuel tank. At one point in my life I was driving cross state lines about once every other month on weekends and during the Christmas holidays to visit my daughter back when she still a little girl in the early 2000s after I got divorced. At some point, I developed a crack in one the piston heads and the mechanic told me that even though he was amazed that I managed to break a Toyota engine, he was more surprised by how clean it was on the inside of the motor as he tore it down. He said usually he sees a lot of carbon build up but on the inside of my motor it was fairly clean with very little build up. So I give MM Oil a thumbs up!

I learned from my father to use marvel to free up rings before putting fire (ignition) to an engine that has been sitting for a while. Used it to free up a seized ford 302 that had been sitting for over 13 years by putting in every spark plug hole and allowing to sit a few days. Next turn by hand to free up and spin with starter once it spins freely. Finally put plugs back in and smoke out the mosquitoes in the neighborhood. Compression was nice and even 150 psi.

Diesel fuel through sparkplug holes is another great way of freeing up a frozen engine. Fill and walk away for a few days. It works every time. Turn it over with a socket and long bleaker bar on the front crank bolt at the harmonic ballancer. Leave the sparkplugs out and work the bleaker bar back and forth.

If you remove carbon buildup from the combustion chamber that will lower the compression ratio and lower the compression reading that you get. The idea is to remove the carbon that could potentially cause pre ignition and that's what marvel did.

However, if the rings are stuck, then if MMO makes them start working again, then the compression would go up. So, unless this engine had stuck rings, I don't think MMO will increase compression.

Flat head engine designs are a bit more about Combustion chamber shapes ( which includes both the piston & the cylinder head. Vs just a bit higher or lower compression ratio. A leak down test would have been much more accurate to define ring seal, than a cranking compression test that might be effected by carbon buildup or removing of said build up. Best way to measure the engines sealing efficiency is always a Leak Down test. Professional racers leak engs much more often than doing a cranking compression test. Good video. Ive only used Marvel on older engines & flat heads. & used Seafood on later model stuff & overhead valve designs. Thats what works for us.
@kickblake
@kickblake Жыл бұрын
Compression ratio doesn't change with carbon deposits because it is a measure of MAX volume to MIN volume. As the max volume is reduced exactly as much as the min volume by carbon deposits, the ratio doesn't change. Compression testing is really measuring ring and valve seal more than it is compression ratio.

You used a different type of spark plug with the Seafoam than you did with the Marvel Mystery Oil but I believe from what I can see that the Marvel mystery oil did a better job decarbonizing the top of the piston and the valves than the Seafoam did. Probably 16 years or more ago this girlfriend that I had she drove a Honda Prelude and it had a cracked cylinder head when I met her and I opened it up slightly with a cut off wheel on a Dremel and then I pushed JB Weld in with a syringe and then I smoothed it all out after it hardened and reinstalled the cylinder head she drove it for another 5 1/2 years after that and she did not retire the car because of any problems with the cylinder head or engine but just wanted to get another car and sold that car that did not smoke!

I have used Marvel Mystery Oil and Sea Foam for many years (20+). My opinion is that I use both at the same time mainly in my gasoline. I take care of my equipment and it does the job for me. I look at the overall picture. If it keeps me out of the repair shop and my equipment runs great it's worth it to me. I have John Deer lawn tractors that are 30+ years old. Stihl farm boss that I purchased new in 1986 and has cut many tons of firewood. I have never had any internal engine overhauls. Am I silly for using both, maybe so.

A personal testimonial for Marvel Mystery Oil. I grew up working in a family owned and managed General Aviation FBO (Fixed Base Operation) in the Midwest. We had a certified maintenance shop, sold fuels, aircraft sales and training, aircraft rental, air charter, etc. One of our customers had a beautiful 1969 Piper Turbo Twin Comanche with 160 HP Lycoming air cooled, fuel injected 4 cylinder engines. He religiously added MMO to each fuel tank at top off and at 600 hours past TBO (Time Between Overhaul) the compression on all 8 cylinders was at the new, just broken in specification!

I have spent my life in aviation too, Bradford. Many years as a flight instructor them a career as an airline pilot. In the 1970s I gave a Biennial Flight Review to a man in his personal Cessna 175 Skylark. I'm sure you know what a poor maintenance reputation the Continental GO-300 in the 175 had. The owner told me that he did frequent oil analysis tests because of the poor reputation of the engine. At first the analysis tests reported concerning metal content, but an "old" A&P recommended 10% MMO in the engine oil. He claimed that all oil tests after beginning to use MMO reported no concerning levels of metal. I have been using 10% MMO in my car engines since. My 1999 Jeep Cherokee, with the 4.0L 6cyl (a bulletproof engine anyway), last September (2018) pulled a 3600 lb trailer 2000 miles at highway speeds from MN to into mountainous AZ with no issue, and averaging 15.1 mpg. The odometer turned over 252,000 miles as I backed the trailer into my garage. Since that Biennial Flight Review, all of my vehicles have easily exceeded 200K, and I credit it to two things: MMO and Castrol Synthetic oils.

It's so hard to say, is X better than Y or Z. Each have their own characteristics. It did seem that the MMM resulted with a "dryer" surface, but it didn't remove the flaky scale left behind- whereas Seafoam seemed to "wash" the surfaces, but left them wet looking. Both products are better when used in oil AND fuel together, and given time to work. One test with any product isn't really going to do much, or give drastic results to show. I still stand by my original method of a 1-1.5 quart replacement of 50-50 ATF/Acetone in fuel and oil, run about an hour at high idle- for a real "engine wash" (for cars/trucks). Your videos are very enjoyable, and educational; you can let children watch, without fear of language or dangerous practices or procedures, and have a real discussion and learning experience.

Interesting test. Actually I have used both products Marvel Mystery Oil for a much longer period of time (35+years). I mix and have been for nearly all that time MMO in my gas can when I fill it. I’ll also add a small amount to my fuel tank at various times of the season but I definitely use it directly in the fuel tank on every single piece of equipment in my shed. Chain saws, lawn mowers, string trimmers, generator, even my Super A Farmall. All of them. Never thought about the combustion deposits! I started using it to keep diaphragms and seals soft in my 2 cycle engines. Starting problems go away. I have a leaf blower and a chainsaw I purchased in 1993. Never opened the carburetor up. I still use them all year round. It’s just really good stuff!

@@sweetwilliam49 I think it would depend on what the goal is and what "normal" for the engine is. Uneducated/semi-educated opinion: Assuming both products improved the performance of the engine, raising compression would seem to be from freeing up something like a ring or lifter that has trouble moving, or getting deposits off exhaust ports to complete a lifter seal. Lowering compression would seem to be from cleaning off deposits from the faces of surfaces and leaving more room in the combustion chamber. Since there is now more room the fuel mix is not compressed as much meaning of course less compression.

According to your numbers MMO is 4 times cheaper. 1/2 the price for 2x the product, Furthermore, according to MMO's website, you use 4 oz of MMO in 10 gallons of gasoline. They don't recommend adding more than that. On the other hand, Seafoam suggests 1 oz per gallon, or 10 oz per 10 gallon. It also says you can use up to 2 oz per gallon. Sounds like they basically want you to just dump the whole bottle in effectively. That means you need to put in 2.5x as much seafoam. Which means MMO is 10 times cheaper!

john handcock, as far back as the 80s, Marvel used to have directions on the can (back when you could still get it in a can) for long-term fuel storage, and it was recommended to mix one ounce per gallon if your vehicle or tank was going to be sitting for a while. Kind of like Sta-Bil, but much cheaper. I've mixed as much as 2 ounces per gallon and have not had any issues doing so. But yeah, the recommended dose is 4 oz per 10 gallon tank.

The base of all of these products is some form of naptha and sometimes turpentine or its petroleoum equivalent. In general you cannot hurt the engine or the sensors by using more than the recommended amount. The point however is that there is nothing that makes one of the products better than the other. Walmart has Seafoam, Gumout and its own product right next to each other arranged by price. There is no difference between the three in terms of what they will do. The same for gas additives intended to clean fuel systems. Probably, two or three bottles of some dollar store additive with do the same thing as a much more expensive product though you may have to go off label. Mystery Oil will work as well as a gasoline additive in a stored avehicle as the much more expensive Stabil. If you have to store a vehicle the best thing to do is have the tank low when you park it, throw in a couple of gallons of fresh gas when you start it, and go fill up at a nearby gas station. You can put in a storage additive if you wish but it probably will make little difference. I once helped a friend start up an vehicle that has been stored for years and it ran. It was never driven again but it would have made it to the gas station across the street if that had been the intention.

Backfired black black smoke, carb loading up. I put mystery oil in tank, sprayed carb cleaner in carb, finally got it to start and you could tell when that mystery oil hit. Good stuff in my opinion. But now that I've seen your video I trust it a whole lot more. Thank you so much for what you do. One last thought. Dude , ,, ( as my kids would say) you hooked up an I V drip to a lawn mower that's gotta be a first. True Doctor of mechanics. Lol I love it.

I think that MMO is made for repeated use in order to get the best results. I use it in all my power equipment fuel (mixed as directed for auto fuel, and mostly a bit heavy for lawnmower, trimmer, chainsaw, blower and generators) and I have had ZERO issues for almost 20 years. When my trimmer quit working (magneto issue) after 9 years, I took it apart and it was as clean as a new one inside. I have used MMO to clean up neighbor's lawnmower carburetors from a year of gumming up from them using 10% ethanol gasoline (which I would recommend to anyone never to use in power equipment) by mixing MMO heavy with fresh non-ethanol fuel and running it through the carbs for an hour. Both lawnmowers have been fine after cleanup process was done. I have used seafoam, as directed, on one truck engine (ford 5.4L) after buying it used, and it "seemed" to run better after using it. Although I have nothing against seafoam, it tends to be more of an expensive additive. Not that I am against Seafoam, I use MMO because I can get it for $3.88 at Walmart and because I have 19 years of consistent performance from using MMO. Marvel claims that MMO stabilizes gasoline, and I have gone two years with MMO in gasoline, in my chainsaw without starting it, and when I did finally get around to using it, it started on the second pull. Just my 2 cents opinion folks.

It's a great product. There are very few products around, of any kind at all really, that can say they've been successful for 100 years. The price for MMO is a mystery in itself. What a fantastic company just for keeping the cost down. We used to put a few drops on the handles of our foosball table because after awhile they wouldn't spin good but even just a couple drops of MMO makes them spin freely as if there is no resistance at all. Really amazing stuff!

@@puppygadget3189 No No, you wouldn't want to do that. MMO is mixed at 1 ounce to 2 1/2 gallons of gas. Way, way to little to lubicate a 2 cycle engine. I use a good quality 2 stroke oil mixed at what ever the manufacturer of the equipment I'm using it in recommends, 40-1,50-1 etc. Then I add the MMO. Remember a 1 gallon jug of gas would get a little less than a 1/2 ounce of MMO. I also add Sta-bil to prevent it from going bad if I don't use it for some time. One more thing. Try to find a service station that has non ethanol gas. Google it. I have 2 with in a few miles of my house. Well worth the extra cost and trouble for small air-cooled engines.

I’ve been in the automotive industry all my life and retired a year and half ago. Some products I have used have proven time and again to just plainly work. Like MMO, Rislone is one of them I have seen proven results. Rislone, MMO of ATF have all been used time and again successfully from the old timers. 1st time I was exposed to Rislone by my mentor at a Ferrari dealership in Hollywood, Ca., a Ferrari Daytona 365 V12 was towed in with a bad hard starting complaint and lack of power. After numerous test for ignition and fuel we found a lot of blow by from the crankcase breather. We also verified a low compression across all cylinders with a follow up leak down loss from piston rings 20/30 %. My mentor Mr. Samps requested to contact the customer for an authorization to decarbonize the engine using Rislone. The process was relatively simple considering a very expensive alternative of an engine tear down and re-ringing job. We added a quart of Rislone to the crankcase, finally got the engine started after numerous attempts using a battery booster, then up to normal operating temperature. The next step was removing all the spark plugs while the engine was hot. Samps got a squirt can and 5 to 6 pumps on each cylinder later while tapping the starter motor. We let the engine sat over the weekend. The following week we placed rags on top of the spark plug holes and crank the engine over to bow as much of the excess Rislone out of the cylinders. Next we installed the plugs and fired the engine off. Yeah, it did smoke for a while obviously. A few wraps from the throttle later the smoke finally cleared and we checked the crankcase fumes to verify results. Indeed it was reduced to almost non existent. We verified success a few consecutive days later that it was a solid and successful repair. Leakdown afterwards was a marginal 6/8%. Wow...Now I swear by Rislone and it has never let me down. I use it often, a 1/2 quart at oil change intervals have kept my engines running in tip top shape. Something to keep in mind: 1 . Engines will always accumulate a certain amount of carbon from both fuel and oil. 2. Carbon will always find itself into the ring lands causing rings to stick, reducing their primary function and efficiency. 3. That will bring in burnt gasses from the crankcase reducing the incoming air/fuel charge. 4. Hard starting, lack of power and high oil consumption will be the result of sticky rings.

My engines start and run like new and I never have to clean carburators. I also run it thru all my engines every so often to keep the injectors clean and running smooth. Can't beat it.
