RE: Marvelmystery oil blow up??

[SB <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

Last year my friend changed the oil on his Buick Grand National.  He 
used a Fram filter.  Long story short, that filter didn't let any oil 
past it.  It was somehow defective, and I've never seen an oil filter do 
that before.  In your friend's case, this would never have allowed him 
to go 100 miles without him hearing knocking, but perhaps the filter is 
to blame?  I'm only guessing, but I'd put a new, quality oil filter on 
it and start it briefly, making sure the filter has time to fill.  I'd 
then remove the new filter and take a look.

any chance marvel mystery oil in a crankcase could make a motor blow 
up???  A guy here i know bought an old Ford with a 289, it ran good 
enough.  Upon getting it home he changed oil and filter, adding a pint 
of Marvel mystery oil into crankcase and the other half of botttle into 
gas tank.  The motor made it about 100 miles and  then blew( sounds like 
a rod-knock to me). In that 100 miles though it ran like a top and 
sounded awesome, no noises of any sort, made good power too.  I took off 
the oil filter and it was not only cold, it  only had a little oil in 
it.  This sounds like a plugged sump pickup to me and made me wonder if 
the Marvel had "Cleaned" the engine too well, loosening up tons of 
sludge and plugging the pickup?
