Fingers CROSSED!

MMO... huh! I assumed that stuff was on the shelf with the STP and all the other miracle cures. To hear it may actually have worked!? Well, I'l B!

Have used MMO many times in tank and oil. Helpful for sticky lifters.

Again, I’m not convinced yet. Should have a better idea later today. This treatment is nothing new. Some do it with Seafoam today, filling the cylinders and letting it sit for 48hrs. In my case it was 4 days. I’ve done this before with a Saturn I bought for $500 for one of my kids. Similar situation, spewing blue smoke. Saturns were known for coking up the cylinders. Ran great after. My kid drove it for another two years.

Well.... the verdict is in and as in all things it’s not clear cut. Drove the car on my 40 mile datalogging loop today. For most of the drive all was well. Then, towards the end I came off the freeway to a stop. As I accelerated away from the stop I saw the smoke again. Not as bad as before but definitely there. Getting home I let it idle in the driveway. Goosing the engine once again produced smoke. Again not as bad as before, I’d say 50%. Strange how it’s only there after a half hour or so of driving.

Given the mileage on the car I’m leaning towards a rebuild or replacement depending on what I find.

At this point it will have to wait a few weeks. I’m going into the hospital Friday for a gallbladder removal. Nothing major but it will put me out of commission for a week or two. Gives me time to consider the options and possibly start buying what I need.
