Bosh Spark Plugs (Barelyl on topic I guess)

[steve ravet]

Well sure, Bruce, but you probably didn't use them right.  I got a box
of Splitfires, ground them up, mixed it up in a case of Slick 50, and
poured the whole thing in the gas tank along with a couple cow mangets. 
I get 8 second ETs now, and 58 mpg at the same time.  It sealed up my
valve stems, removed carbon deposits, and now I go 25,000 miles between
oil changes.  The torn seams in the seats have started to fix
themselves, and the rust is turning back into steel.  And, I think the
cracks in the windshield are starting to retreat.  But I'm not sure
about that.  I call it "slick lickety-split fire 50".
