Cylinder lube for a long time stored motor.
#7
I recently used some Marvel's Mystery Oil to wake up my Jeep CJ-7 after having been sitting around for the past 5 years - worked like a champ.  Just like the others mentioned, pulled the plugs, squirted some into the cylinders, and poured about 6oz into the oil filler and let it trickle down to the pan.  While I had the plugs out, I hand-cranked the engine about 18-20 full revolutions.  I also filled the tank with about 5 gallons of premium along with some Royal Purple Max-Clean Stabilizer/Octane boost, and shot some Berryman's into the bowl vents, along with a shot down the throat then fired it up - which it did almost immediately, but I had to shoot a couple more blasts down the throat while the mechanical fuel pump got fully primed and it ran on its own.

Then about a week later, I had to replace the cap & rotor while chasing some fouled plugs, only to discover that the spark plug wires (the only thing I didn't change) gave up the ghost and needed to be changed.  All is good now, though.

Hope that helps!
