I have a TSX with the Honda 2.4 180k and it has been burning a quart every 800 to 1000 miles... I had a bottle of MMO so I figured I would just use it up on this attempt. I know many of you say MMO will not have much effect and it might not ... but there are people out there with success and I had the bottle from a while back anyway.
Anyway I followed the common instructions of removing plugs , pouring a couple oz in each hole and letting it sit, so far about 30 hour or so , and I had cranked the engine just a few seconds WITHOUT the plugs like most do , but I am getting nothing on the rag for ANY of the cylinders.. so I am sure that means all my rings are stuck bad??
I am going to continue another 24 and another application but I might need to use the car by tomorrow and then start another attempt later in the week.. for this my question is is it safe to put the plugs back in ?? . Nothing is shooting out on the rag when I crank for a few seconds.. and I can see no liquid in the immediate vicinity inside the plug chambers. . How to know if it is for sure safe to install the plugs?
