Hi,
Yeah, I understand trying to wring a little more life out of an engine.
What happened to my 250 Chevy was that the Engine Restore got into the rings and the rings then stuck down in the piston grooves.
So, it went from 500-1,000 miles on a qt of oil to becoming a mosquito sprayer as soon as it started getting warmed up.
The amount of oil smoke was startling, especially knowing how it had been running before I added that snake oil.
Tried to flush it out a couple times but ended up getting new rings and bearings and doing a quick rebuild.
So now I'm the brand anti-ambassador, I tell anyone to avoid that stuff when I hear it mentioned! wink
