Engine Restore , what's your take
I'm really not much for the miracle in a can solutions , but , since I read about another member giving it a shot , I figure , my beast is old , well beaten , and has a lower end knock (not too loud and goes away with RPM increase of idle) .
So , I reluctantly bought a can of so called junk for $17 (canadian , grrr) and proceded to dump it in ontop of the fresh oil I just changed out last week . Drove it to the store and back , maybe 10 mins . I get back , no more knocking sound , it was acually quite a nice smooth purr coming from the old girl .
I got back in this morning , and the same on a cold start , prring like a kitten . Oil pressure is running a little higher , and after a 1/2 burn down the back roads , seems to be more peppy too
Well , I won't say I'm sold on it yet , but , I have to say I am impressed with it . Probably just a bandaid fix , but heck , if the knock stays away , she'll get another can at the next oil change for sure .
Thats my take , what's yours ?
