lucas oil stabilizer.. if it is the ring set , we always used Engine Restorer with the copper flakes to fill in scratches from the sand that always found its way in the engines. it was a temp. fix when they were due a rebuild only.. if the seals are gone, pretty much nothing will help it.
Ok, it never runs hot unless parked for like 20 minutes running. Never used Lucas one, and the local shops all carry a Engine Restorer, so that might work, thanks.

Clean the mouse ball.
Oh, wrong forum.
Save the 20 bucks and let it blow. Make smoking cool again.
I can't afford this.

Restore does help.I had an old 318 in one plow truck.It had 300K.Smoked and I used Restore.It did cut it down quite a lot and even seemed to run better.Wont fix a major problem.Lucas might help but restore will probally do better.Rocky

Put the Restore in the car and O'Rieleys 30w with Wix filter and let it run for a little bid. Smoking went down to 1/2 of what is was just on warming up the engine! Within a 15 minute drive, I could come up to a stoping and see that i was not smoking out other drivers anymore (before, you could see fumes of smoke flying by like a fog bank!). Will give it another test drive in the week when I pop on a fresh distributor, rebuilt hi output altornator and rebuild the oil pump. Heck, I feel good that my ride isn't too hooptie for me to enjoy it a bit more. thanks for the idea on the Restore additive, might save me from rebuilding my engine sooner than it needs to be.
