Restore!!!!!

I know from reading that compression can be a big issue for our 8's. Has anyone tried restore? It worked wonderfully on my gtp as well as my lawn mowers. Being a rotary motor i'm not sure how it would work. For people who might not know this http://www.restoreusa.com/ is what I'm talking about.

It won't work on a rotary engine. The oil doesn't get to the part that degrades the most, the apex seal. That is what the oil injection is for. That is why you have to keep watch of the engine oil level.

Not sure I'd want that stuff going through the OMP.

even if it works, who knows what kind of deposit the chemical might leave behind after getting burnt. might make things worse.

Specially works well with older engines that have 6 digit mileage.
