I recommend you soak all cylinders with marvel mystery oil while you have the motor open.

Get a gallon and fill each a good bit.

Change the oil after you spin the motor over spraying out the remainder of oil.
This will clean up any open valve seats, and free up any gunked up rings.

"Spraying" is the operative word in this sentence. Cover the exposed injector holes with a large towel before you spin the engine over!

275 PSI compression will expel the oil an impressive distance. The goop will then hit the underside of the bonnet and then run down the fenders and inner wells. If you still have the insulation under the hood you'll get to "enjoy" the odor of the oil every time the temperature warms up. Mmmm, mmm, mmm!
