Restore Engine Compression $10 - Does It Work!?

What happened with the compression when you changed the oil?Because seems to me that product is just an oil modifier that thickens the oil.

[@mopardude707]

@@bleepinjeep nice video. I was wondering did you pour the whole thing into the engine. Because I did with my oil change I added 6quarts of oil and one whole bottle of this stuff for my 5.7 hemi. And it surprisingly quite the lifter noise. But now I'm nervous to run it since I did see on Google that it suggest only a partial is to be put into the engine and not the whole bottle. Which bums me a bit because it doesn't tell you how much to add only to the engine theres no info for it.

[@stuuuporman]

Years ago, I started using Engine Restore after I heard about it on Car Talk with Click & Clack, the Tappet Brothers They said it was the only engine additive that seemed to work. So, I tried it in my 1989 Safari Van 4.3 V6 with 225 miles on it. After only 50 miles, I could see a huge improvement very quickly. And, I continued using it past 341k when I junked the van in 2015 due to Indiana winter road salt. I have also been using it in all my other vehicles and they run great... 2000 Safari 201K, 2002 Ford Taurus 263K and 1996 Astro Van with 321k.

My 89 4.0 XJ was around 200k miles when I compression tested it. My memory from 13 years ago says I had worse compression than your results, I think 135 was my lowest. I tried engine restorer and saw an increase on all but one cylinder. I believe restorer works better on vehicles whose prior owners didn't keep up on maintenance. With your pressures and miles it's pretty clear your xj has been well maintained but even so you still got results, I'd say that's the sign of a good product.

I've used Engine Restore on my 1985 Oldsmobile station wagon for years. I bought the car for $500 back in 2012 as a backup vehicle, and always added Engine Restore at each oil change. 10 years later the old car is still running.

[@gregorymalchuk272]

Which engine does it have?

[@waynesanders1406]

Something tells me that there is a way to do it that would yield better results than just throwing it into the engine. 1. Run a non synthetic oil for at least a thousand miles. 2. Change oil with non synthetic 3. Add motor flush and flush the engine out. 4. Add in a high zinc engine oil break in additive with engine restore and perform a cam break in procedure for 20 minutes. 5. Change oil with regular non-synthetic oil and add another can - drive as usual and check compression after 1,000 miles. If that doesn't improve compression numbers notably (assuming those numbers are much less than a new engine) then it might not work, but Project Farm has already made a video and believes it is one of the few gimmicks out there that actually does work.

[@onthelake9554]

Compression test should be done with = battery charger hooked up on high (constant rpm), crank trigger disconnected, (so it doesnt spark or inject fuel ,cylinders checked further into the test will have more and more of oil washed off the rings by the fuel ,and your asking for it leaving the plug wires loose and letting the ignition fire at peak voltage can cause it to leak high voltage to secoundary winding in coil and kill pcm) , throttle should be propped open some amount ,(so air can freely enter cylinders) keep cranking till guage peaks out. Do these things and you will have an accurate compression test . FWIW = low/uneven cylinder compression almost always caused by valves not sealing . A good (like SeaFoam) Top Engine cleaner treatment that you put directly in the intake not the gas tank or oil pan ,done by the instructions will help most . My .02 Nice Video !

Somewhat religious about the frequency of oil changes, and never letting the oil get too dirty, I was astounded at how black the oil was at 5,000 miles when I changed it with fresh synthetic.

I then changed the oil, filter and added a can of Engine Restore. Took it into the mechanic, he hooked it back up to the shop machine.

In my experience with it it does work but you have to keep using it after you started using it and you're supposed to use it on a clean oil change that will make some difference in your results I think if you don't use a clean oil change for using it because the oil is broken down to a certain degree from being in your engine for Albert long it has been there

I talked to the manufactures of this product directly and they told me do NOT use this if your vehicle has VVT Valve Timing system in it. It will clog everything up and it wont be good! So make sure you check that first before you use this product! If it doesnt have a VVT system your good. Other systems like Hydraulic valve lifters and stainless steal shims are ok. According to Scotty Kilmer. So yeah, hope that helps! Your manufacturer of your vehicle can help you if you give them your VIN number. They can tell you for sure if it has VVT . CHeers!

I used this stuff years ago in my jeep, had no problems with it

[@davidwright1752]

Actually a before and after test great review

[@leskobrandon538]

And just a side note, I have soaked the cylinders for 24hrs using seafoam or berryman poured into the sparkplug holes (plugs out) then crank over the engine to blow out the solvent, reinstall compression tester and seen a 15psi increase curing the carbon fouled stuck compression ring problem...

Beware! Based on PF and other tests, I recently put Restore in a 2007 Honda CRV with 213000 miles and within 3 minutes the Check Engine light came on. Stopped to make a turn 5 minutes later and engine stalled. Ran rough and stalled numerous times at idle (which would drop below 800 RPM). Search of WEB showed other Hondas experienced similar problems. I changed the oil and filter, and Engine light went off. It stopped stalling, although idle is still a bit rough. A similar symptom occurred once before when oil went about 1000 miles past its change interval, and Electronic Valve Control filter and hydraulic relay clogged. Oil change and cleaning of the EVC screen fixed it. My theory is that Restore clogs parts in engines built with tight clearances, using hydraulic relays and valves, and maybe using 5w-20 or thinner oil.

Yes, you're not supposed to use this stuff in modern GDI or VVT engines. The galleys are too small and will clog.

[@alonzowitt5931]

I believe it's a gemic, the fine powder that supposed to fill in the scratches in the cylinder walls would never get past the oil filter to begin with! As for compression gains after a road trip on a order engine is do to carbon burn off on the valves. 150 + psi on a engine with 240,000 miles is really good! When you see blow by coming out your oil fil cap or dip stick then you will know its time to retire her.

i’ve used restore before. it would make the engine feel good for a little while but it wore out quickly. it wasn’t worth spending the money to add it every copy of months to restore a little performance. but the product does work

[@tomthumb1498]

Then you had a much bigger problem then a little compression lost. I won't fix craters in your cylinder walls.

[@harrycee656]

Some of this could also be due to the oil thickening after 3000 miles on the oil.

I just put some in a Chevy 5.3 Vortec with 113K on the clock. It quieted down a noisy lifter in less the 26 miles.

Used engine restorer 4 cylinders on my 2015 Scion FRS and I now have around 6 check engine codes. Cars at 82,200 miles and it says on the can use on any car over 50k...also put in a bottle of STP gas after a trip the gas station. Codes with the same oil I used the restorer on: P0420, P0014, P0014, P000B, P000D, P00014 Codes AFTER I changed the oil(because I changed the oil around 15 miles after): P0420, P0014, P000B, P000B, P000D, P0014, P000B. A month or 2 ago the car was at stage 1 with the OPENFLASHTABLET then stage 3+ with flex fuel(without flex fuel kit). Flashed it back to original ECU/file and sold the OpenFlashTablet. Some miles later it gave a transmission code cel problem then it fixed itself....then a catalytic converter o2 problem...let the car idle for 30 minutes rev'd it a bit then fixed itself......now this..help pls ty

[@lelouch6067]

@Aaron Erickson haha, hell no. But update! Fixed it, and sold car! Ty for the laugh. Have a good one.

Great shirt. Capital TORQ makes good stuff.. lowercase torq takes Doug's money
