Marvel Mystery Oil?

[samo_ott]

I've read lots about it on this forum and have an engine I want to see if I can get unstuck. Is this the best thing to try and if so, where can one find it? thx

It's pretty good stuff. Best? Well, that's gonna be a big debate. You can get it at most auto parts stores. Comes in a big red can.

i use it. on motor that have sat up. not necessarily froze up. depends on what's stuck. if it's crank bearing, doubt it will help. rings yes.

Beats me what's stuck... it's a 1962 Viking 25hp (OMC based)... the engine I grew up with and learnt to water ski on... it's sat for 15 years at least, maybe 20... ran when parked though... I can't turn it by hand so it's stuck! So I'll look for MMO at Napa or somewhere then... thx...

I also heard that most parts of the late 50's RD's will fit on it and even some early 60's 40's so that's good as I have a supply of those parts...

I always use a diesel and ATF fluid mix. So, if you have a hard time finding MMO . . .

That is exactly the purpose of penetrating oil, which is what I would use.

There is a product called "IN FORCE". This has been the pest penetrating oil I have seen in the automotive market. Ten times better than BP Blaster.

"Liquid Wrench" might be a good choice. What ever you use, set the pistons in a vertical position and give it plenty of time to soak.

MMO now comes in a red plastic container. Found in the automotive section of Wal-Mart.
