listers,
I am in complete agreement with anyone out there who has suggested using Bon-
Ami for washing the toilet bowl as opposed to pouring it into an engine..Oil
consumption by the rings is a matter to be rectified by disassembly and
careful attention to details that may present themselves to
inspection..Usually rings that do not seat have a reason for not doing
so..oversize bores..a poorly applied cross hatch pattern on the de-glazeing
process..possibly chrome rings in a poorly prepped cylinder,etc..I would not
pour anything into a cylinder that would cause any abrasive reactions..It just
isn't the way things are meant to be..:-)
thoughtfully yours,H4(Howard)
