Im sure you all have heard about the "Engine Restore" stuff for you engine oil additive. It is suppose to restore compression back to normal, and decrease friction. Well, i figured that the can for a V8 is only $8, so why not try it. I have access to a shop with a compression test machine. I have a 98 5.2L w/ 93k on it. it should be about 9.1:1 compression, well 5 of the cylinders were right about at that (8.5-9.1), the other 3, were a little less, 6.8 in one, 7.2 , and 7.9. Why some of them were ok, and some not, i have no idea, but anyways... we changed the oil and added the restore. i drove thru 2 oil changes, each time using the restore (~5000 miles), then ran the test again. sure enough compression restored! At first i was a little skeptical, but it works believe it or not. Compression in all 8 cylinders was anywhere from 8.8-9.1, way better gain than expected. I would have to think that this should work for everyone. I just recently got the 2nd test done, so from now on, i will be adding that $8 can every oil change. Im sure it will help restore my HP and TQ, as well as improve the life of the engine. Again, i just decided to test this stuff in the beginning of summer, and now it believe it works. Go get yourself a can of it, its worth the money! The only noticable difference in driving is that it seems to idle a little smoother. you do not notice gains in performance or anything like that, but the numbers show that the engine is more efficient and "healthier".
