Buddy has an engine that sat around for a while, while the car was being built. Engine runs fine, just low on compression due to the rings never fully seating. I've heard their are a few tricks to help seat them even after having run the car for 200 + miles.

The scariest trick that was told to me was pouring a teaspoon of Ajax into each spark plug hole, then firing it up

Anyone have any tried and true tricks of the trade, other than tearing it down


It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose…
as long as you look good doing it!
