Depends on what you are doing. for something rusted, or just stuck Kroil is my choice. for cleaning up a running engine, i use Seafoam in the gas.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

So the Valves do make a big difference! About the same readings I got on the 50, after I set the valve lash. Probably not too wise for me to have waited until I was nearly finished with the rest of the Cub to do that, but sometimes luck trumps wisdom.

Yep John, that was what I was thinking... getting a bit tight on the Kroil supply and don't plan on needing a whole lot on the new tractor since I ain't gonna take it apart.... :roll:

I would be happy with 90 across the board I mean not uptimal I suppose for cutting grass but if you get the seafoam in there and maybe it will rework the rings and help you out!
