<VV> Stuck rings cure

[Bob Gilbert]

Howdy Folks,
For lifter noise or stuck rings I use CD2 for lifters and rings. Lifters 
usually respond quickly but rings can take a while. If  the bad things( 
smoke, blow-by, etc.) start getting better then you are headed in the 
right direction. Drive it as much as you can and change the oil and 
additive frequently and cross your fingers.
