The only SURE FIRE cure that I know of is RERINGING. However the only other thing that I can think of is PB Blaster. Spray some of this in each cylinder and see what happens.... Good luck~!

Get up fully warmed up,i.e drive it for about a 1/2 hr, then romp on it hard 4 or 5 times. This could help reseat the rings.
