I am a firm believer is MMO. Two years ago I parked both my 49 convertible and my 47 Custom. I fully intended to winterize them, put fuel stabilizer in, etc. But, you know the rest. They both sat for about a year and a half. I did start them once or twice during that time.

When I retrieved the cars the 49 with the 327 started but ran poorly. The 47 with the 356 started and ran fine. Long story short, the 356 has a upper cylinder lube system from MMO and the 327 does not. I had to un-stick the valves on the 327 by removing the valve covers and manifolds. Then soaking them in MMO and Blaster. Never had a bit of trouble with the 356.

Again I say, I am a firm believer in MMO, at least as an upper cylinder lubricator.
