Restore?
Anyone ever actually used Restore in their engine and seen an improvement? I'm going to dump a can in next time because while I'm not losing much oil and my compression is fine, I know the rings are having a hard time dealing with 10.0:1 compression...

I've never used it before, but I have a *really* hard time dumping miracle crap into my engine. If it sounds like snake oil, it probably is... Plus, it makes me nervous as to how it "restores compression". I wonder what kind of sludge/gunk is in it that will either stick to my cylinder walls or to my pistons, or to my rings. The same sludge is going to stick to my bearings, oil galleys, valves, tops of the pistons, etc...
I view it in the same catagory as that "Aluma-seal" crap for radiators.

Don't use Restore. I had a head go bad 100 miles after using it and a friend lost his motor. No good~!

Your not burning oil, and your compression is fine. What makes you think that you're rings are having a hard time with 10:1 compresion???? 10:1 isn't that high, although you probably have to run premium.... I would leave everything the way it is...

Mass quantities of blowby. It took one PCV to carb vacuum, one filtered breather on a PCV valve, and one unfiltered, unvalved breather before it stopped trying to push oil out of the filtered breather.
