Restore engine restorer

unfortunately there is no substitute for worn parts except NEW parts...

SOmoene in one of the other newsgroups said he has used it in many vehicles and has checked compression before and after. He said that in about 90% of the cases it has brought the compression back up to "like new". Example, one cyl might be 90 psi before and after it's back to 130 psi. After is after about 500 miles of driving with the stuff in the oil. He also said it's of no value if the engine is not showing signs of wear, i.e., if the compression is already good and it's not burning oil, etc. I tried it in a couple of vehicles that really didn't have any problems and didn't notice any difference. I also put it, along with several other repair-in-a-can products as well as a couple small mechanical repairs in an old toyota that supposedly had a blown head gasket. The car went from running like a 3 legged dog to running like new. I did so many small things that there is no way to know which was the key item, if any.

I used it once in a '69 GT with about 130K on the 351W. After about

300 miles I noticed that it ran a bit better and burned less oil. And I noticed less smoke out the back when I got on it. A year or so later I rebuilt the engine. When I took the engine apart, three of the ring were broken on three different pistons, and just fell off the pistons when I pulled them out. I also had two bent rods.

Snake oil. Nothing can replate worn parts.
