      I would just do very frequent oil changes. Like every 100 miles. Do that maybe 3-4 times.

      Wd40

      If you are pulling the heads and will have the lifters out, put them on a paper towel and spray them with WD40. While many people use WD40 as a lubricant, it actually was originally designed as a Water Displacer (and was the 40th recipe tried by the inventor) and will work into the lifters via capillary action and displace the water.

      Is there anything WD-40 can't do? I buy it bulk at Costco.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
