Reply to "Piston rings glazed"

In the old days of multi-carbed flat heads, the magic fix for glazed rings usually from over carburetion could be corrected by removing the air cleaner turn your idle up to 2500 then with a couple of teaspoons of "Bartenders Friend" (a very mild abrasive powder used to clean pans sinks etc.) blow it into your carb. I was told this but never did it. I did find that the reason was a blown power valve, that was washing down the cylinders. I installed a new power valve ( about $6.00 )and the rings sealed. Their are no magic fixes.
