Ring Job In A Can. The Verdict Is In!

A couple of weeks ago we decided to give Restore Engine Treatment a shot in our tired 273 Dodge.
Today we found a noticeable difference. Here's how it went.

[Maine.living]

My 1988 chevy c1500 has 605, 000 miles....started running a little rough and burning a little oil at about 500, 000 miles...tried Restore, immediately noticed improvement. Been using it for the past 150, 000..truck runs perfect. Not burning any oil....I am convinced I will make it to a million miles...by the way..my truck is all original, no rebuilds..change all fluids regularly..oil at 2000 miles. Trans once a year, radiator once a year, rear end every 2 years, power steering and brake fluid once a year..

It sounds like detonating because it probably is, and that means the Restore is working. You probably advanced the timing in response to the low compression, so when you restore the compression, you also need to either restore the timing or use high octane fuel or water injection to avoid detonation. So try backing off on the timing unless you want to use super gas or install water injection.

This stuff is amazing, maybe not for a big muscle car. My Wrangler used to have low compression, and had a lot of blow by and blue smoke from exhaust. 500 miles after first can, no smoke and no longer have to top off the oil every gas fill up. Only use about half quart in 5k miles, as opposed to 3-4 before. It definitely gives a breath of life in tired engines like my jeep with 280k miles

Seems like maybe its a good preventative for engines that are not too far gone

Seafoam works pretty good. I added it to my 318's oil once and within 500 miles it ate all the gunk out of the inside of the engine. Unfortunately for me that gunk was the only thing keeping me from leaking lol

When I was a apprentice diesel mechanic 30 years ago my foreman told me there's only 2 things in a can that works.. wd40 and beer.

It’s almost like to rebuild an engine you must rebuild the engine. You out here doing God’s work my dude.

[leskobrandon]

I've used it, and it provided lasting increase compression in all cylinders

[devianb]

I'm still laughing at borrowing compression from one cylinder to another to balance it out.

Uncle Tony, try 15W-40 diesel oil. Trust me, it works well on engines with "moderately" worn rings, providing better ring to cylinder wall sealing. It helped reduce oil consumption from <300 miles per quart, to 800 miles per quart on a 160, 000 mile 318 that I was running a the time.

Rim job in the can? Sounds like the wrong kind of prison movie. Don't watch it Uncle Tony! Just don't do it!

I used restore 1 time, in a SBF, and a couple months later, on the way to the hospital with my wife for the birth of my 2nd daughter, it lost oil pressure and seized. On tear down it had clogged the oil galleys. I had put it in a thoroughly warmed up engine after warming the Restore in hot water on the stove and drove it 25 miles to mix it well. I have not used any oil additives for over 30 years.

Ah yes! That place in Mexico where they use 55 MPH speed signs 😂.

[TheMrAnderson]

Dude, you’re awesome. You remind me of life when I grew up. Thanks for doing your videos

[drrrrockzo]

Man I'm amazed by Mexico's old growth woods...

[Vdub]

That stuff works great. I've used it on high mileage engines and have had great results.

Uncle Tony, I have used Engine Restore it in my 2014 Cadillac ATS, 2.0 Turbo. I have used ER since 50, 000 miles. I now have 162, 000 miles on the car now. I drove to Las Vegas and got 3 .mpg. My engine runs better then when I got it with 42, 000 miles. I'm sorry you had bad luck with your truck. I SWEAR BY THIS PRODUCT !! Just FYI...I use the Fram Ultra Synthetic filter, and Mobil-1 high mileage oil, 5W-30, and one can of Engine Restore, ( 6-cylinder formula). And...compression....the car goes well over 100 mph without much effort. Thank you Uncle Tony for your video.

My 2cents, High mile engines - use heavier weigh oil for 1000km ( 600 ml ) drain and only use heavy w oil from then at the usual replacement . Was a tip from an retired aged mechanic and it worked wonders for my straight 6 jeep .

[Stevesbe]

I used the restore in an old worn out 305 that was down in power and used oil. It definatly helped by using way less oil and i could feel a slight increase in power

[terrismith]

Thanks for the follow up video and your lack of bias with the product. I've a 940 wagon with 255k miles on it and while it doesn't smoke, I considered using it depending on how it went for you. Not going to..engine still runs strong and doesn't smoke..ain't broke don't fix it sorta thing.
