my wife recently siezed her parents lawn mower engine. i was told to over fill it with marvel and let it sit for a few days to see if it would free it up. well no luck... i put 3 quarts of the marvel in and when i drained everything back out i ended up with probably 3.5 quarts, some was spilled so i assume there was proabably a little less than a quart in the mower. now for my question.... can/should i run the marvel mixture in the cummins? i've torn the mower engine down and it didn't seem to tear anything up... run a magnet through the oil with no metal and haven't seen any aluminum. what do you guys think... i know it's only $10 but if it's still good for something i'd like to use it!

 

I use it especially after just rebuilding a engine. It works pretty good at fixing ticking lifters. Let it sit in the cylinders of an old farm tractor for a couple years finally got it broke loose and its still running now after a couple years no tear down rebuild or anything!

 

Wait, you're wanting to use the oil that you had poured into the lawn mower already? I wouldn't think that would be advisable, unless you had a really good way of filtering it to be sure it was contaminate free...

 

yea it's got a mix of the used sae 30 in it as well. figured it's not the greatest idea but just wondering... is there an easy cheap was to filter it out, or should i just chuck it and be done with it lol

 

CHUCK IT! Don't even chance it.
