Yeah, Kroil is definitely good stuff. I've got a few cans. I did a lot of research on MMO because I couldn't find what it exactly "does," and when you can't find why or how something does something, chances are it doesn't really do it. What I found out was MMO is basically nothing more than modified oil. It got famous a long time ago because it was credited for keeping parts clean due to it having a much more uniform molecule structure than regular oil, and because old timers have used it for 40+ years, it's still credited with doing something...
Nowadays, however, what with much "more better" oil refinery processes, synthetic blends, and full synthetics, there's no longer a need for MMO because the new oils do what MMO used to make up for. Still, while MMO might free stuck parts, it's not a cleaner. Kreen is a petroleum-based cleaner. It slowly dissolves stuck stuff without chunks breaking off and getting stuck somewhere.

Hopefully with heads this clean I won't need it!

Oh my... personally I'd still use Kreen because it'll keep it that color. It does wonders for removing varnish. The first time I used it it made my dipstick shiny again.

Then it makes sense why I never hear about it. Not many folks around here with superchargers ;-)
