[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1845650, member: 42463"] I bought a Chevy truck real cheap with a bad engine due to the people never changing the oil. Some of the lifters were collapsed and stuck. I decided I'd try to see if the lifters could be freed up without getting into the engine, figuring that I could just replace the whole engine if it blew up. I put a quart of high detergent transmission fluid in and drove the truck a hundred miles and changed the oil putting another quart of tranny fluid in. The engine was noticeably quieter. The next oil change was 500 miles later and the engine was almost as quiet as it should have been. So another oil change with tranny fluid. By the time I'd gone the next 500 hundred miles the engine was quiet, so just a regular oil change. I drove the truck for two years and over 24,000 miles and sold it for half again what I'd paid for it. If you do the kerosene cure I would probably run it while working with it for a day or two. Get it hot and put some pressure in the cylinders. [/QUOTE]
