[TR] GT6 engine still seized - Bob Kinderlehrer gets the prize-MMO

Re the MMO,  not to worry. The use of MMO is standard procedure in  
the vanagon community. These water boxer engines have an annoying  
habit of allowing one or more of the hydraulic tappets to drain if  
the van sits for any length of time. Usually clears up (refills) with  
a few minutes of driving. If not, the profered solution is to run up  
to 1/4 volume of MMO in the crankcase for a couple of days, then  
drain and replace with 20-50 and a new filter.  Based on this and if  
your MMO volume is only a quart (probably much less if you have been  
sucking it out), run it and drain it and fill with the proper oil and  
a new filter.
