PATROL SMOKING BAD
Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2004 5:48 am
MY PATROL HAD BEEN SITTING UP FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN MISSISSIPPI WHEN I BOUGHT IT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.. I HAVE GONE THRU MOST OF THE SYSTEMS.. BRAKES CLUTCH DISTRIBUTOR CARB FUEL AND FUEL PUMP MASTER CYLINDERS SLAVE CYLINDERS.. NOW ITS RUNNING ... HURRAH .. BUT ITS SMOKING REAL BAD.. HAVE NOT HAD IT ON THE ROAD A LOT .. AND A FRIEND SAID I JUST NEED TO RUN IT HARD FOR A WHILE BECAUSE MAYBE THE RINGS ARE RUSTED. I USE MARVEL MYSTERY OIL BUT SO FAR THIS HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING YET.. GETTING FOULED PLUGS ETC. BUT AT LEAST IT RUNS.. I READ AN INTERESTING POST ON THIS BOARD ABOUT SPRAYING BON AMI DETERGENT INTO THE CARB WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING .. OF COURSE CHANGING OIL AND FILTER AFTER THIS OPERATION... HAS ANYONE DONE THIS AND DOES IT WORK?? NEXT OPTION IS TO DO THE RINGS .. ARE THESE HASTINGS 5738 THE ONES TO USE AND WHAT ABOUT THE GASKETS DO YOU HAVE ONE MADE OR CAN THEY BE BOUGHT.. WHAT ELSE WOULD I NEED FOR A TOP OVERHAUL...
