Keep Old Cars Running Long Past Their Prime
Thanks for ordering this report. It was a wise decision. Now, in
all probability, you won't have to junk that "old friend". You
won't have to pay $500 to $740 for major repairs or a new
engine. You're about to discover an amazingly easy, economical
and effective way to stop your car or truck from burning oil; to
restore compression and end plug fouling!
Before getting down to the "1-2-3's", let be tell you about my
experience and what led to the publishing of this little-known
information.
Less than a year ago I bought a "cherry" 1967 Chevy half-ton - a
one owner Camper Special that had always been garaged and used
solely for recreation. The chrome glistened, the upholstery
looked new. The original paint still gleamed with nary a dent or
ding. It had all the "goodies" - air conditioning, tranny
cooler, even a 110 volt converter for powering appliances while
camping.
The odometer read 68,678 miles, and as wear was minimal on the
brake and accelerator pedals, I believed the numbers. The owner
was buying a new truck and asked only $850. I promptly paid
without quibbling, figuring I had a real buy. Drove my bargain
about 600 miles and it used very little oil. But, the engine was
running a bit rough. Time for a tune-up.
The analyser showed average-good compression except for one
"low" cylinder. "You're getting close to 70,000 miles," the
mechanic remarked, "and about due for a valve job. It's a good
investment for a truck in this shape." I agreed.
Paid him $150 for the valve job and the fun began. For the first
20-30 miles I rejoiced in my "new truck" smoothness and power.
Then, I noticed that I was being followed - by billowing clouds
of blue-gray smoke! I went back to the shop. Carburetor may be
out of adjustment? No such luck. That smoke was burning oil. The
mechanic stared at the engine and scratched his head. Finally,
he pointed at the 110 volt converter. "I got a feeling," he
said, "that there is the culprit. Your engine's got a lot more
miles on it than you think. They guy you bought it from probably
ran the engine plenty while the truck sat, generating juice for
his TV, lights, chain saw, you name it."
What happened was, the increased compression resulting from the
valve job, forced the oil past the worn rings, creating a real
"Old Smokey!" Drove it that way for a few weeks, but I was
burning a quart of costly oil every 200 miles and getting
cross-eyed, looking for (and trying to avoid) cop cars. The
plugs fouled so fast that the whole rig shuddered and bucked
like a goosed bronco, just a few miles after installing a fresh
start.
In short, I was in the position you are now... owning a
basically good vehicle you want to keep. I, too, was unwilling
to pay the cost of the usual remedy, or buy a new car or truck
at today's inflated prices. Like you've probably done, I went to
an auto supply store and wistfully read the labels on additive
cans that promised to stop oil burning. Picked one up and walked
over to the clerk.
"This stuff any good?" I asked. He, more honest than sales
oriented, replied: "Dunno. Never heard of it really working." I
walked out without buying.
Couple of days later, trailing my usual cloud of smoke, I
stopped at a small gas station-garage at the edge of town. The
owner, a thin elderly fellow in grease-splotched bib coveralls,
walked over while I was hosing-in gas.
"Nice lookin truck," he commented. I nodded. "Saw your smoke,'"
he added. "Thinkin of rebuildin the engine?" I replaced the hose
in the pump and turned around. "Maybe later," I shrugged,
figuring he was trying to drum up some business. "Costs too damn
much."
He grinned. "Twenty bucks sit favorable?"
"For what?"
"Fixin what's wrong. Go get a cup of coffee down the street.
It'll be in good shape when you get back."
"You've got to be kidding!"
He wasn't. Told me he had been a mechanic for nearly 40 years
and had rebuilt countless engines. But, for the past year or so,
since learning of a new product and devising his own technique
for using it, he wasn't doing much rebuilding. "Gettin too old,"
he complained, "to keep tearin engines down and puttin em back
together."
Twenty minutes later, I drove out "memorizing" some
instructions. My smoke plume soon disappeared and the engine ran
progressively better. Almost immediately oil consumption and
plug fouling stopped. Today, nearly 15,000 miles later, I still
don't add oil between changes and you never heard a better
running old truck! Now, here's the "Secret Technique" that
venerable master mechanic revealed to me, which you can easily
do yourself:-
