[QUOTE="richg99, post: 425589, member: 4376"] Early 1980's, I bought an older 27 ft. Catalina sailboat. It had an Atomic 4...gasoline engine. I had a survey done on the boat before I bought it. The regular surveyor said that "they didn't survey engines" but I could hire a sea-front engine shop to do that survey. I hired them. The engine shop said "all was well with the engine". Ha! When I went to move the boat to my new rental slip, the engine clattered and made all sorts of unfriendly noises. Well, she was mine now, so I had to live with it. The salesman, who just lowered his inventory of old boats by One....suggested I use some "Marvel Mystery Oil". Before I ran the engine on my maiden (and scary) journey, I went to an auto shop and bought some Marvel Mystery Oil. I am pleased to tell that the engine's clattering and noise mostly all disappeared in the 45 minute run to her new home. All's well that ends well. richg99 [/QUOTE]
