It's at 256,000 miles now. It does have a problem, now, burning oil in #2 cylinder, but I think that is from my multiple overheating and head gasket issues.

I've also used plain water, down the intake and it doesn't seem to hurt anything either, but you have to add it at a slow trickle, or there might be a problem. It put's out lot's of smoke also. I couldn't see that either one did anything to hurt the engine's and in both cases the engines seemed to run better, after, than before. However, in both cases the engine's were very, very well used before I ever did anything to them.
Yeah, that's the other problem: I'd have to find another place to do it. Where I live, everybody is on such pins and needles that I'd have the fire department visiting my house before I got half the bottle in.
