Yep. People do it all the time. Just an ounce or two. Plug the holes so it doesn't evaporate, then unplug them, lay a rag over them and turn the car over once to blow out the excess. Replace the sparkplugs and you're done. Run the car up to temp, then change the oil.

SeaFoam is better for this than MMO?
And you mean let it Sit overnight?
Some have told me it can make the car lose all compression, however most others say it works Great!
Piston Soak.
How many times have you done this without Engine Fail? It does seem that Simple?

Yes, it should sit overnight. Or at least a few hours.
I have done this many times without any kind of failure.
Yes, it is that simple. It'll take you ten minutes, aside from the waiting part.

That is not physically possible. A solvent could not keep the compression rings from making contact with the cylinder walls. I would stop taking advice from whoever told you this, as they are talking from their imaginations, not theory or practice.

Ok, so no one has ever had an Engine fail after Piston Soak. This makes me want to do it.
I need to make sure engine is Cold, yes? or it does not matter? 1 oz SeaFoam in each Cylinder then turn over with Plugs out for 3-5 seconds to get it out, then warm then change Oil? That easy?
If thats all there is to it, im doing this. Before my OC so that Oil is good and used up.
Next Question! Out of these Three Oils, which would you use for ARX?
1) SuperTech (Same price as the Delo, a little less, which Oil is better?)
2) Chevron Delo 400 15w40 ($12 5 Qts at Wal-Mart)
3) AMSOIL XL (Twice as much.)

How much is recommended per cylinder?
