A number of years ago, there was an article in one of the popular
boating magazines about this. * The article recommended Shalers
Rislone and gave a lengthy story about why its *a good smoking lube.
* At the time, *I had a boat with a pair of 188 HP Graymarine
engines and every spring I had a few sticky valves when I fired up for
the first time. *I began smoking with Rislone and no more sticky
valves. *The article went on to say that Risone will stick to the
cylinder walls and coat the valves. *Regular 30 weight oil will drain
down over the winter. * I still use it on my smaller engine, *a
*5.0 *OMC Cobra. * Hope this helps someone. *
Happy boating, *Norm
Thanks Norm.
I'd like to read that article. It's probably floating around on the web
somewhere.

Hi Tim, This article was back in the late 60s and I believe it was in
Rudder magazine. I'm not sure if Rudder is still publishing or not. I
haven't seen it in a long time, but it was a good, informative mag when
I subscribed to it.
