yep nothing new in this forum..car doesnt start help

car was sitting for a month cause starter was gone and after i got that starter it didnt start cause i guess i have no compression and i gotta lube up the apex seals? someone recommended marvel mystrey oil but question is do u guys think that carbon build up is the problem? or something else? any input would be helpful thanks

nope. probably just low compression from sitting. just put an oz in each of the lower spark plug holes, and crank her up.

oz means ounce, He was saying put about an ounce of Marvel Mystery Oil in each of the leading spark plug holes.

will it start right away after doing that? cause i heard your suppose to crank it after inserting the oil into Each spark plug hold not just the lower ones then wait 24 hours then crank it up and it should work

in theory it should start right up. Leaving the oil in for 24 hours is a technique to dissolve carbon on the housings/rotors and unstick side seals. All you need is some oil to seal the combusion chambers so that you can get compression.

by the way quick question. i added some mmo into my lower right spark plug hole then didnt do the other one i just put the spark plugs back in and wires back in cause i thought they'd shoot or squirt out if i did them all at the same time so i put the others back in and did that one but then i had to go

question im asking is if i should add more mmo when i redo this procedure since its been a couple of days since i added it to that engine chamber
