Engine Restore - the stuff in the silver container

Engine is losing compression and making a clacking noise. Mechanic friend isolates the problem to the 3rd cylinder and says it's losing compression. Rebuild or put in another engine is his prognosis.

I figure with nothing to lose, I would try putting in slick 50. Not sure why really, but I figured what the heck. No change is apparent.

I go back to walmart and find Engine Restore. I buy it, pour it in the crank case even though the instructions said to do an oil change and not use any other additive like slick 50. Since I had just put in the slick 50, I didn't want to empty it out and figured.... hey I have nothing to lose really.

I let the car run at idle for hours with my slick 50 / engine restore brew.

No more clacking noise. The engine still has a rough idle, but hey it works and no clacking noise.

Flash forward 350 miles later:

On the highway going uphill, engine is losing power. Can't keep up with the speed of traffic so I exit the freeway. Coming to a stop sign, I come to a complete stop and when I go... the engine is wanting to back fire and I have zero power. Getting the car moving and getting out of first gear is a chore. I'm thinking that maybe I need to drive this to a junk yard now.

Instead, I drive to a walmart and get another can of Engine Restore and take my car to get an oil change. I figure I'll follow the instructions this time, and replace a quart of the oil with the container of Engine Restore.

Remember, the car is barely able to get out of first gear, wanting to backfire, and can't even go 60 mph on the freeway. In fact, after getting the container of Engine Restore, I wasn't even sure that I would be able to get it to the oil change place it was running that poorly. (ha ha ha)

Flash forward an hour:

Oil change completed. I made sure to watch the guy shake the can of Engine Restore and actually pour it in, in place of a quart of oil. He starts up the car after doing the oil change, and it starts right up. He pulls it out into the parking lot, parks it, then brings in the key while I am paying for the oil change.

I get in the car, start it up, and to my surprise there is no hesitation and the engine is able to accelerate quickly and easily. I then take the car out on the road and it easily gets to freeway speed and can easily keep up with the speed of traffic.

Wow! I should have followed the instructions in the first place! Oil change, replace one quart of oil with a can of Engine Restore, and do not use any other additive during this process (such as stp or slick 50).

The best part is, a can of Engine Restore for a 4 cylinder engine costs $6. Actually, the best part is... that it works, or seems to work! I'm not imagining this. It really has made a difference. Before the oil change with Engine Restore, I was barely able to get out of first gear. Now the car is back to normal acceleration, no more hesitation, and the ability to drive at highway speeds.

I will update this post when I have more to report.

How long will these benefits last?

Will it continue to get better with time as the Engine Restore does its thing as the engine is running?

Time will tell, and so will I.

Invisible Shield

I got a BlackBerry Curve 8330 and I wanted the best protection possible, so I researched all of the different cases available. There are way too many different cases available out there, so I asked my brother, Neil, for advice as he also has a BlackBerry, and I figure he would have done his homework.

I was right, Neil did his research and he recommended two different types of protection. Out of the two recommendations, I opted to go with the Invisible Shield. The Invisible Shield makes my BlackBerry scratch proof without having to use a case that adds bulk or weight or takes away from the good looks of my phone. It just makes sense!

The Invisible Shield is made of material that protects the leading edge of a helicopter blade. It's totally clear and not like the plastic protective covers that you can buy for cheap. I've even taken the sharp edge of my keys and scratched at my BlackBerry screen, and it doesn't get scratched! This is way cool. Here's one that's even better.... the Invisible Shield covers the whole unit, not just the screen! So the whole phone is protected.

Note: it costs $24 for the Invisible Shield, and if keeping your phone free of scratches and looking like it did the day you took it out of the box, is important to you.... then this is a small price to pay. My BlackBerry still looks brand new after 2 months. Not a single scratch! Here's another cool thing: it comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee. You call them, they send you another Invisible Shield, and you mail them the old one.

The Invisible Shield comes in a pre cut template made specifically for your type of phone, so it fits perfectly on the screen, the back, and the sides, and is "invisible". It takes some patience and about 20 minutes to put it on, and it's totally worth it.

Click the picture below and check it out. There is an Invisible Shield for your phone or gadget. The video will show you how amazing this thing is, and I personally use it on my BlackBerry.

Thumbs up!
