what in the hell is MMO

As the title says is MMO Marvel Mystery Oil, and if it is I just put about two bottles into my combustion chambers in an attempt to break up and loosen some carbon so that I can hopfully get the seals to seal better. Was I right in doing this.

umm.... some people believe in doing this with ATF(and I think I've heard MMO too), some don't think this is such a good idea. but either way, I think 2 bottles is a little too much

Most of it was probably just going right out the exhaust if he was turning the motor over while dong this. And i doubt you got 2 bottles through the spark plug holes (if thats where you did it)...most of it was probably on the ground.

No I got most of it in the engine threw the bottom spark plug hole, and I didn't turn it hardly at all I tryed to turn it just enough to the next side of the rotor, but still not very much of a turn. It may have gone out the exhuast but I don't know. Still is MMO marvel mystery oil, just yes or no is fine. I hope it eats out carbon and makes it seal a little better, but if it doesn't at least I will kill some of the mysketos in the area. Also how long do you guys think that I should leave it in the engine for.

Yes MMO is marvel mystery oil...it works damn good at eating carbon. Before I put my engine in, I put some thought the lower intake manifold, and looking through the spark plug holes you could see the carbon dripping off the rotors. Try the water trick next..I'd say thats one of the best carbon cleaning ways.

Alright thanks I always wondered what MMO ment in all these people's thread's, and now I know. I think I will just leave that old snake oil in there for like a week or until I can't stank to not hear my car run anymore. If anyone thinks that this will hurt it please tell me. I don't what pitted rotor housings or some bull **** like that.
