For a while now I have been frustrated by poorly sealing rings. The problem isn't too bad, just enough to really annoy me—especially considering I have less than 10,000 miles on my rebuild. I have long suspected that the problem was caused by a poorly designed oil catch can connected to manifold vacuum. Using SeaFoam and kerosene I have been able to improve the problem somewhat.
While pidling around with some other things on the car yesterday, I was struck by inspiration. With the spark plugs removed, I gave each cylinder a long blast from my can of Gumout aerosol carb cleaner. I replaced the plugs and ran the starter for a few seconds (with the ignition switch off). I let it sit for a bit while I finished up some other projects, then I fired it up and let it run for a few minute. Late last night I took it for a test run. Bam! A rock solid needle on the vacuum gauge. Wooooooooooo Hooooooooooooo!
And I still have almost a full can of carb cleaner!
