what do you guys think about valvoline maxlife. i was running a valvoline 10w-40 durablend before and the leakage was bad. Im too cheap right now to fix a gasket or whatever is leaking so i chose to use this oil that claims it will recondition gaskets. Anyone have any expeience about valvoline max life?

Way back in like 1985, I used an oil called areo. It was parafin wax based, and extremely thick stuff when cold. (Like you can't pour it.)
That slowed down my SBC leaks in the 73 Camaro I had at the time. (Turned out to be my oil pressure sending unit was cracked, and leaking, not the main seal I thought it was.) Simple 25.00 fix, and a hour's time.
Fix your leaks, and don't run parafin wax based oil... LOL
I'm a fan of full synthetics like Mobile One, RedLine or AmsOil. (Shaffer Oil has some good oils too, but often you have to buy it in bulk cans of 5 gal or more.)
Maxlife will not make your leaks disseapear. If you want to be ghetto about it, just throw in a bottle of stop leak. That is more effective at rejuvenating gaskets and seals and possibly stopping small leaks.
I bought myself an 89' Supra N/A that had sat for 14 years in a drive shed without moving. Miraculously it started up without even needing a boost.
As my build comes together slowly (thanks to tons of information I've found here and on Supramania). I'm finally at the point where I need to...
I bought this car running a 7M harness on a 2JZ-GE motor (SAFC2). It came with an ECUMASTERS EMU stand-alone with a PnP adapter. I asked the original owner why it wasn’t hooked up and he said he could never figure out how to make it work. The PnP adapter has bridged connections and I need some...
My 7mge does not throw a spark. I cleaned the intake and the valve covers, and changed the spark plug wires. After assembling, the engine did not start due to lack of spark, check the coil, relay, and ecu, all are running. What could be the problem? Any help is appreciated.
So a little back information on this car. My son and I picked it up when he was 15 and now he is 20. There are a few threads on how we brought the car back to life and have done other things. here is one. https://www.supraforums.com/threads/87-supra-part-3-paint-the-car.1109813/post-13837471

Good afternoon,
I'm in the process of putting back together a turbo 88 destined to the scrappy, and I've got most of it together except for the AC compressor. I've got it mounted onto its bracket, all the lines bolted on, but the holes don't quite line up perfectly with the ones on the block...
