Appreciate your thoughts Ross. He had already put a quart of Shaler Rislone in the oil, and my last advice before quitting today to make this post was for him to head up to the Interstate Parkway and blast along for a while. We've been preaching the "get it out and DRIVE it" sermon to the owner for a while.

Rislone was a favorite of an old German mechanic I worked for as a teenager - he pretty much exclusively worked on flatheat Chrysler products and was a read advocate of it. And when it came to sticky valves, they were no slouch. I've always been a bit learly of snake oil solutions in a bottle, but I guess in this case "might help, can't hurt". Perhaps I'll hear more tomorrow, we've got a rescheduled St. Patrick's day parade tomorrow. I'm thinking about putting some green paint on the whitewalls and taking the 34.
