does anyone know the link where i can find out how to do the atf compression trick?

i tried doing a search on it but the search sucks, it came up with totally unrelated topics

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png what is atf???

automatic transmission fluid

ATF-All titty *******



Oh anyway, not a large amount in the cumbustion chamber, it will smoke, but its all good.



No links I know of.

i remember readin a post on here about the trick, what i remember is throw some atf in a sparkplug hole, pull fuel fuse, bump start engine so atf covers everywhere, put plug back in, wait a day or so, then make a 5 or 6 redline passes, does anyone know if that sounds right?

you do not belong here... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

Almost correct...I dont know about the redlining part.



You put a tablespoon of ATF into one spark plug hole of each rotor housing. Throw spark plugs back in, let it sit. Crank her over, the car will start and alot of white smoke will eminate from the rear. Problem with ATF itll gum up everything inside the engine. So just shift low, 4000rpm max and just cruise around the neighbourhood for a while. Come back home, DO AN OILCHANGE.



And your set! If your car seams to run fine and you are just looking for a "performance enhancement"



Dont bother doing it at all.

u can also use MMO(Marvel Mystery Oil, its not bad for anything) and maybe crank the engine by hand while youre pouring it in.

Cranking the engine by hand is another good idea, to get everything niiiiice and cooooated! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



MMO you can run in your engine all the time and no need to do an oil change, its an oil conditioner/additive.



We dont get MMO in Canada anymore. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

when you search...make sure you hit ...more options...that brings up a better seach screen

Alchohol? Tobacco? Firearms?

For nikki carbs, just plug the bigger of the two fuel hoses going to the carb on the driver side of the engine to keep it from flooding....but why bump start? just plug the fuel and crank that ****!

Change your plugs. I keep a set around just to do the ATF thing.

I'll never put ATF into any of my engines. I think it was Bobrx7 that originally posted the 'ATF treatment' thread on a different forum. The bads outweigh the goods when pouring a fluid that doesn't like to be burned into your engine. Catalytic convertors can be ruined for one thing.



ATF wouldn't have done any good in my low compression 20B. That's why I used MMO in it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

thank you jeff, did you ever do that experiment you were planning?

I'll do it tomorrow.

thats cool, i dont have to worry about cats, i dont have any https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Sorry for the delay. I'll put some apex seals into some liquids today.
