Sure, keep using it.

And yes, I do know guys who used this crap, and they wish they had not, after the fact.

If you enjoy adding crap to your engine, please don't give others your bad ideas/habits as ok/good things to do to their engine. There are people who read this forum who don't know any better, as they might not be aware of the neg issues this stuff can cause.

If you keep adding crap like this to your engine, it's just a matter of time before it blows up in your face.

You ever think where the little particles go after the product gets too hot and starts to solidify(the stuff that does not bond to cylinder walls, ect..)?

Engine restore is a great product! It was frequently requsted by customers when I worked at a gas station giving FULL RED BALL SERVICE at an ATLANTIC station in the late 1960's.

Red Ball Service= pumped the gas and while cleaning front and back windows asked to check oil, coolant, battery (refilled liquid in them days), and tire pressure. Most people said; sure, why not. Well the hood weighed 300 lbs. the battery in a " bug" was under the back seat with Saturdays groceries piled on top. And a woman once ran over me backing up to the air hose!

If you did not offer or perform said requests...... you out of your $ 1.25 an hour paid for their fuel @ $0.37 a gallon.

Do ya know how many of your buddies came in for a "quarters" worth of gas...still curse them!!!!!!

I'm sure Restore still works even in this century.

The only thing I've used that would be comparable is Auto-Rx - it was touted by Patman and the likes on the bobistheoilguy.com, so I gave it a shot...not sure if it did anything or not, but it didn't hurt it.

There was a question, but obviously, you did not read the whole thread. I'll just leave it be, and you can keep using it.

Happy now? I hope so..
