Abe, you asked "We run 10 tractor trailers at work and have a mechanic =
on staff.  He thinks the oil rings have carbon build-up and suggests I =
add an additive that will clean the rings of carbon. Is this a good =
idea?"
=20
=20
Yes, if you intend to do long haul truckin' with your lancair, otherwise =
I'd be a little more cautious about throwin' junk in the gas and oil.  =
If you get lucky, someone will answer with facts instead of opinion, but =
I'm guessing those with facts won't think its a good idea either.
