REFLECTOR:Marvel Mystery Oil

[Scott Baker]

I don't think that engine manufacturers think much of the suggestion of
using Marvel Mystery Oil, however if you talk with some "old timers"
(including Mike Snyder at the Velocity factory) they swear that this stuff
works wonders to help unstick valves and rings.  If your engine is under
warranty (factory or from a rebuild shop), be sure to check to make sure
this will not void the warranty.
I personally have not heard of anything bad about it's use - but don't
listen to me, I'm not an expert. :-)
