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 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.
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.
