Hello!
I have a problem. My engine (Honda B16A DOHC VTEC) has sticky valves. If I crank it over by hand for a while, they unstick and I can start it and it runs great.
The engine hadn't been run in 10 years, so I've been spending time getting it running, and it's been running great... The other day I topped off the engine oil with some old oil I had on my shelf, and ever since a couple intake valves will stick when the engine cools down. the engine has been run multiple times and driven without problem until I blended the oil and now this problem.
I would try to add some marvel mystery oil to the oil and run it to temp, then change the oil. But being from Canada, we don't have MMO, so I'm asking for advise.
I don't want to run a flush as I'm afraid it'll damage seals. The only other thing I can think of is adding some ATF to the oil and run it to temp, then change the oil.
Asking for advise! Thanks so much.
