MMO piston soak

[Lead Shoes]

I am doing a piston soak as we speak, but I have a question no one has asked... do you have to suck the fluid out of the cylinders after the cycle?? what if I don't and I just toss in the plugs and go with 1-2oz on each piston??

crank the motor over to shoot all the stuff out of the cylinder. On Ford's you can hold the throttle pedal down and it will disable the spark and fuel while you crank. Might want to cover up sensitive parts that you dont want to have MMO sprayed all over.

To partially answer the OP question, sometimes there is no fluid left in the cylinders to evacuate:

If you have any reason to believe there's fluid pooled in the cylinder, dont put the plugs in till you crank it all out.
On the compression stroke to TDC ,you could actually bend a rod
if there's more fluid(dosen't compress), than combustion chamber volume.

Get the MMO out, meaning, just rotate the engine. JMO
