  4. Thank you all very much for suggesting a test on engine restorer. Here's the link to the update on the Ford 5000 a year later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXIu3oo8z4c Engine Restorer for 8 cylinder engine: https://amzn.to/3j4JoEb Engine Restorer for 6 cylinder engine: https://amzn.to/32kpEpt Engine Restorer for 4 cylinder engine: https://amzn.to/32liXDq

  5. Restore claims to use copper, silver and lead. The additive didn't seem thick like Lucas. I'll provide an update after 30-40 more hours of use. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    86
  6. Thank you for the video idea!
    75
  7. Wow! Impressive!

  8. Barry, Great question. The engine was cold during both compression tests (before and after restore). I allowed the tractor to cool off over night after using it for several hours with the brush hog. It takes hours for an engine like this one to reach room temperature.

  9. Great question. I had to buy a new gauge after the "before" test. It seemed to work okay for the first cylinder during the "after" restore test, and then the little shrader valve in the hose gave out and wouldn't hold pressure. The shrader valve is different than those used in regular valve stems or I could have borrowed one from a valve stem. The new compression gauge hose even had a different fitting and would not connect to the old gauge. I was pretty frustrated that I had to change testing equipment in the middle of the project! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

  10. TheVexCortex, Thank you very much for the positive comment!
    38
  11. Thank you for this recommendation!
    38
  12. An update to provide. After not using the tractor since last weekend, the tractor now starts quickly now without needing starting fluid or the engine block heater. I'm very impressed with the performance improvement!
    36
  13. It seems to be an amazing product. Have you owned a vehicle that needed this product? If so, have you used it?
    30
  14. Great point. I had to buy a new gauge after the "before" test. It seemed to work okay for the first cylinder during the "after" restore test, and then the little needle valve in the hose gave out and wouldn't hold pressure. The needle valve is different than those used in regular valve stems or I could have borrowed one. The new compression gauge hose even had a different fitting and would connect to the old gauge. I was pretty frustrated that I had to change testing equipment in the middle of the project! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

  15. Impressive results! I was skeptical too until I tried it.
    28
  16. Thank you very much for the positive comment!
    26
  17. I really like reading posts like yours. Thanks for sharing this experience!
    21
  18. Thank you!

  19. David, Yes, I have a container of Archoil that I plan to test in the near future. I'm looking forward to testing it. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    20
  20. Epibloger, I'm very surprised too. On a positive notenow starts quickly without using starting fluid or pre-heating. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    14
  21. I enjoyed reading your comments and thanks for the constructive feedback. Thanks for the comments on gas mileage as well. I believe you'll be interested in some upcoming videos that will get into this area.
    12
  22. I've got to check out the harbor freight kit. Thank you
    12
  23. Dave, This is an excellent point. I haven't tested the return policy on any products. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    11
  24. I'm glad that restore worked for you! Very impressive vehicle that you own. I'm sure it's incredibly fast! Please be safe in that fast ride!
    10
  25. Thanks 👍
    9
  26. Yes, it contains copper, silver and lead. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

  27. Jeff, 300,000 miles is very impressive! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    7
  28. Thanks for sharing.

  29. I admit that I do mow too fast. The Ford 5000 can handle a 15-foot batwing, So, it doesn't have any problem keeping the 8 foot brush hog going at higher speeds.
    7
  30. LOL! That would be a disaster! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    6
  31. Thank you. It has copper, silver, and lead.
    6
  32. C.I. TROA USA, yes, I have a couple of videos in which I test Seafoam as well as other additives such as Marvel Mystery Oil, Dura Lube, and Slick 50. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    5
  33. thebug 404, That's a great point. I thought about adding an extra can since the tractor has an 8 quart capacity. After some research, I decided to use just 1 can. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    5
  34. J Smith, Great suggestion!
    5
  35. I plan to provide an update in a few months after 30-40 hours of use. I'm hopeful that the improvement will last. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    5
  36. Great question and thank you for the positive feedback. Yes, I tested a cold engine both times. I allowed the engine to cool off over night after using the brush hog. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    5
  37. Impressive results! Thanks for commenting!
    5
  38. Thank you! The tractor isn't burning any oil and is running great. I have another video (year 3) on the way.

  44. Alexander, Thank you very much for the positive comment!
    4
  45. Yes, follow-up video coming soon. Thank you!
    4
  46. Every other oil change unless the compression loss is really significant
    4
  47. Thank you very much! Restore seems to be a great product.
    4
  48. This is a great recommendation. Restore is supposed to contain copper, silver and lead, which is much softer, could possibly cause wear. Thanks again!
    4
  49. Thank you!
    4
  50. Great point. I believe the copper, silver, and lead ingredients might cause the price to be a little higher. Thanks!
    3
  51. Great suggestion! I'll test it soon. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    3
  52. Brandon, I hope to provide an update on that soon. I ran out of time and didn't even get a chance to test how it starts when it's cold. I finished taping the video and had to leave town on business. I'll provide an update soon. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    3
  53. Yes, this definitely helped the cold start issue.
    3
  54. You are welcome!
    3
  55. Thank you!
    3
  56. Thank you. I did a follow-up video and the engine did maintain compression. The hour meter is broken on the tractor and I'm not sure how many hours the engine was used during the year but I did use it quite a bit.
    3
  57. Glad I could help!
    3
  58. I've been using the tractor this week and it is still running much better than before restore, including better cold weather starting.
    3
  59. Impressive results! Gaining compression helps with HP and fuel efficiency for sure!
    3
  60. No, I allowed the engine to cool all night. These iron engines take forever to cool down to ambient. Thanks for the positive comment!
    3
  61. Thanks for sharing.
    3
  62. Yes, you can leave it in the oil. I plan to use it in all future oil changes in the old Ford 5000. I don't plan to use this product on engines with good compression, since it's an unnecessary expense and probably won't offer any benefit.
    3
  63. Thanks!
    3
  64. Thank you very much. I'll remain self-sponsored to avoid any sort of influence from manufacturers.
    3
  65. Thanks for the positive comment!
    3
  66. Recommend contacting Engine Restorer to be sure. Thank you
    3
  67. Oliver, I hope you experience good results! Thank you very much for the positive comment! It keeps me motivated!
    2
  68. Tony, That's not good! I hope the Ford 5000 doesn't experience engine failure. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  69. Jacob, I plan to test mothballs in the near future. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  70. Jefferson, LOL! I'll try to work on the vocal intonation and fluctuation some more. Thanks again for the positive feedback and constructive comments!
    2
  71. This is a great suggestion! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  72. Yes, Shraeder valve failed at the most inopportune time. Very frustrating. I'm certain restore worked. Tractor now starts without ether or using the block heater and seems to have more power. Thanks for commenting!
    2
  73. Eric, the "fuel vaporizer" video idea is a great suggestion. I'm highly skeptical that this would work, but it's worth trying. Also, great suggestion about converting diesel to gas. Thank you for these ideas!
    2
  74. These are great suggestions. I'll test cooking oil in the near future. Also, great suggestion on the car oil too. Thanks again!
    2
  75. I might test them, but I'll need to figure out how to measure performance based upon how they are supposed to be better than those engineered to use water. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching the video!
    2
  76. I hope you experience good results! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  77. Quinton, I hope you achieve great results! You might not experience an immediate improvement. The copper, silver and lead take some time to work into the cylinder walls. The longer I used the tractor, the better it seemed to perform. Thanks again!
    2
  78. Noah, Thank you for the recommendation!
    2
  79. Robert G, I hope it helps. It may take a few hours before the "copper, silver, and lead" fill the scratches. Thanks for commenting!
    2
  80. Hi Jared, First, thank you very much for the positive comment! I'm reluctant to use starting fluid in a diesel since their compression ratios are different and cylinder pressures are much higher. Gas engines use a spark to ignite and have much lower compression. It's just my opinion. I've used starting fluid in the Ford tractor occasionally but I really don't like doing that. Thanks again!
    2
  81. I left town on business before I was able to start the engine cold. I plan to test that this weekend and will provide an update. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  82. Gonzalo, Restore says it continues to work after changing the oil at the normal service interval. However, it requires periodic use as the "copper, silver, and lead" wear down. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  83. LOL! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  84. Joshua, Great question. I tested them both cold. I allowed the tractor to cool over overnight before testing it the next day. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  85. Preston, Those 300D's are terrific vehicles! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  86. Jleone, Great suggestion. The product website says that the use copper, silver and lead, which fill the dead space in cylinder walls. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  87. Great point! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  88. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  89. Bryan, Great point. I tested the engine while it was cool both times. I allowed the engine to cool off overnight before testing the "after" restore. I should have included this information in the video. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  90. James, This is an excellent point! Also, than you for the positive comment!
    2
  91. Quinton, Those Toyota Camry's are great vehicles! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  92. Richard, Thanks for watching the video and hope you achieve great results. You might consider getting before and after compression results. Thanks again!
    2
  93. Great point. I should have included the theory in the video. Restore uses very small particle of copper, silver and lead to fill the void in cylinder walls. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  94. Chris, thank you very much for the positive comment!
    2
  95. Average Joe, this is a great suggestion! I should have done this. I hope to test the compression again after 30-40 hours of use and will also use the approach you've recommended. Thanks!
    2
  96. Chris, Restore uses very small particles of copper, silver and lead, which fill the void in cylinder walls. Other products work as you've described to thicken oil. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  97. Thank you for taking the time to comment and glad you've had good success with Restore!
    2
  98. Jim, Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. I enjoyed reading your comments. I could tell the engine in the tractor ran smoother and had more power. Watching the video of the tractor in action was quite pleasing as the engine sounded much smoother than before. Thanks for the additive suggestions too.
    2
  99. Bleach, Thank you very much for staying with the channel and for the positive comment!
    2
  100. Yes, MMO is a terrific product! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  101. Yes, these are great video suggestions! I'll add these to my project list. Thanks again!
    2
  102. Matt, Great question. I'll provide an update this weekend. I have to leave town on business before I had a chance to cold start the engine. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  103. Thank you very much for the positive comment and thanks for watching the video!
    2
  104. Erich, Thank you very much!
    2
  105. This is a great question. There is likely some variance with compression readings when temperatures are far apart. A few degrees should not matter. I allowed the engine to cool off over night before I tested the "after". Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  106. I'll try to put together a follow-up video. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  107. Cyanide Cloud, I'll see if I can figure out how to remove the background noise. Thanks for the constructive feedback!
    2
  108. Logan, Great video suggestion!
    2
  109. J T R, Thanks for providing this feedback!
    2
  110. Jennifer, Thank you very much for watching the video and commenting. I was surprised too. Most importantly, the tractor now starts quickly, without use of starting fluid or the engine block heater. Thanks for commenting!
    2
  111. Thank you very much for the positive comment. Yes, the compression readings were both taken when then engine was at room temperature. i should have shown those details in the video. Thanks again!
    2
  112. Alex, Thank you very much for the positive comment!
    2
  113. Kevin, Thank you very much for the positive feedback!
    2
  114. Great question. I had to leave town on business before I could test starting the engine cold. I provide an update this weekend. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

  116. Oscar, Great question. I had to buy a new gauge after the "before" test. It seemed to work okay for the first cylinder during the "after" restore test, and then the little shrader valve in the hose gave out and wouldn't hold pressure. The shrader valve is different than those used in regular valve stems or I could have borrowed one from a valve stem.

  117. B Johansen, Thank you very much for the positive comments. I hope to continue to get better at video editing and quality/content with more experience. I'll research QMI. thanks again!
    2
  118. Hexa, This is a great suggestion. I believe there are more gains to be made and I only used the tractor for around 3 hours. I'm sure the copper, silver and lead ingredients take time to fill the void areas. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  119. James, Thank you very much for the positive comment!
    2
  120. ProbeGT2, Thank you for the positive feedback and thanks for the thumbs up!
    2
  121. So far, lots of positive comments from others regarding restore. I'm impressed with it too. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  122. atv kid2, Thank you very much for the positive feedback!
    2
  123. Logan, This is a terrific suggestion. I'll do this! Also, thank you for the recommendation on cleaning the injection pump too. I'll try this too.
    2
  124. This is a great suggestion! I don't use the tractor as often as I'd like. I'll try to provide an update after I use the tractor for 30-40 hrs. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  125. John, I used the same oil, which doesn't have all that much use. I plan to change the oil after another 30-40 hours of use and will provide an update. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  126. I believe restorer will work for a long time. It uses Copper, Silver, and Lead to fill in the cylinder wall imperfections. In theory, the longer it's used, the more imperfections it helps to correct. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  127. Taydrum, This is a great point. I replaced the injectors about a year ago and it's performed much better once it's running. I'll check out the additives. Thank you very much for the positive feedback and for the recommendations!
    2
  128. LOL! I bet the new Kermit makes much more income than me. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  129. Felix, I left town on business before testing the cold start. I've since returned and tested it yesterday. I'm very pleased that it now starts quickly without starting fluid or the block heater! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  130. Jessie, Great point. I should have mentioned this. Yes, the engine was cold both times. I had to wait overnight to accomplish the 2nd test since the engine takes a while to cool off. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
    2
  131. Michael, Thank you very much for the positive comment and thanks for watching the videos!
    2
  132. Thank you for the video idea!
    2
  133. Thanks for the video idea.
    2
  134. Thanks!
    2
  135. It's a guess but around 30. It's definitely has a much lower viscosity than STP or Lucas HD oil stabilizer. Thanks
    2
  136. Ryan, Thank you very much!
    2
  137. I haven't tested the compression again yet, but the engine definitely runs better and starts easier. I plan to use restore in this engine with every oil change going forward.
    2
  138. Thank you. Yes, cooled off both times.
    2
  139. Fresh oil is the best way to get the most service out of it. Thank you
    2
  140. Thanks for the feedback.
    2
  141. It's a 1974, Ford 5000 with a 4.2L diesel. The turbo was an aftermarket add on that must have been added by the dealership or shortly after purchase. I really like the old tractor.
    2
  142. Yes, it does start better now. Thank you!
    2
  143. Thanks for the feedback.
    2
  144. After over 20 years of urban life, I really enjoy the countryside. Thanks for commenting!
    2
  145. It's doing great. Here's the update video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXIu3oo8z4c
    2
  146. The original gauge broke during the video, which was very frustrating. I wasn't trying to be deceitful or I would have purchased a duplicate gauge. The tractor now starts much better than before and the performance seems improved.
    2
  147. Most additives seem to be snake oil, but this one works. Thank you
    2
  148. Thank you! I don't believe that it'll work but you might consider calling the restore information line.
    2
  149. Thanks for the video idea.
    2
  150. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  151. Thank you for the video idea!
    2
  152. I don't believe there would be any harm or benefit. In this instance, I would rather buy some Seafoam or MMO for the fuel system to keep in squeaky clean.
    2
  153. Thanks for this information.
    2
  154. This is a great point. Thank you for this recommendation!
    2
  155. It seems to really help an engine that burns oil or has low compression.
    2
  156. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  157. Thank you very much for subscribing. I'll continue to say no to the sponsorship and offers for free items. It's not worth it. Thanks again!
    2
  158. Thanks for the video idea.
    2
  159. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  160. Sorry about the typo
    2
  161. This would be very interesting. I doubt it'll help the rod knock but it should help with oil burning.
    2
  162. Thanks for the video idea.
    2
  163. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  164. Thanks!
    2
  165. Cold engine both times. Engine cooled off overnight for the 2nd test.
    2
  166. Thanks for the feedback.
    2
  167. Thanks for the video idea.
    2
  168. Impressive results!
    2
  169. Great feedback! Thank you
    2
  170. LOL! Thanks
    2
  171. Great suggestion! Thank you
    2
  172. Thanks so much!
    2
  173. Yes, it can be used in a 2 cylinder, 4-stroke engine. Hope this helps. Thank you
    2
  174. I believe it will work but recommend contacting engine restorer to be sure.
    2
  175. There is another update video but it is still running very well.
    2
  176. Thank you
    2
  177. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  178. Great question. Very tiny copper and lead particles fill in the imperfections
    2
  179. Wow! Impressive gains!
    2
  180. Thanks for the feedback.
    2
  181. Thank you very much! Great test idea!
    2
  182. Mattie, I should have provided this information when doing the video. Both tests were cold compression tests. I allowed the engine to cool off over night before the "after" compression test. These diesels have a lot of metal and take a long time to cool off. The tractor now starts without use of starting fluid or the block heater, which is a great improvement. Thanks for commenting!
    2
  183. Sorry for the delay. Restore can be used in most turbocharged engines, except the powerstroke.  My tractor has a turbo and I haven't had any problems with the turbo or engine.  I hope this helps. Thanks again.
    2
  184. Yes, it will help. Thank you
    2
  185. Thank you for this recommendation!
    2
  186. Thanks for the feedback.
    2
  187. Impressive! Thanks for commenting on this!
    2
  188. It's running much better and does start like it should now. I use restore with each oil change. Thank you
    2
  189. Copper and lead microparticles. Thank you
    2
  190. Yes, I like the idea!
    2
  191. Thanks!
    2
  192. Thank you! Thanks for watching!
    2
  193. Thank you for the video idea!
    2
  194. Yes, the engine now starts without starting fluid. I have not yet adjusted the valves, but I plan to do that soon.
    2
  195. Thank you for the video idea!
    2
  196. Not yet. Thanks for the video idea!
    2
  197. Thank you. It's a product that actually delivers results for worn piston rings. It won't help if the valves are the problem.
    2
  198. The biggest risk of a flush is that the oil pickup can get clogged and possible increased oil leaks. If you decide take the risk, I've had good success with Seafoam in the crankcase per the Seafoam instructions. Hope this helps.
    2
  199. Thank you for the positive comment! The tractor now starts without use of starting fluid or the block heater when the weather is mild.
    2
  200. Thanks for sharing.
    2
  201. Thank you! I have 3 wonderful kids
    2
  202. Thanks for sharing.
    2
  203. A before and after compression test would be interesting if you have the time.
    2
  204. recommend contacting customer service at engine restore
    2
  205. Thanks for commenting.
    2
  206. Yes, the tractor starts much better now. Thanks for commenting!
    2
  207. Thank you!
    2
  208. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  209. My opinion...It'll be fine. Thank you.
    2
  210. I hope you achieve great results. Thank you!
    2
  211. It will "wash away" over time if not used
    2
  212. Yes, the tractor now starts without starting fluid or the block heater in warm weather. Before it needed the block heater even in very warm weather. Thanks!
    2
  213. Thank you very much! I'm very happy with engine restorer as well.
    2

  216. Greetings. I have not yet experimented with Rislone valve guide seal repair. Thank you for this recommendation!
    2
  217. That's awesome!
    2
  218. Perfect timing. I recently provided a 1-year update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXIu3oo8z4c
    2
  219. Great question. The engine was ambient both times. I allowed the engine to cool off over night before the "after" test. Those diesel blocks hold the heat well. Yes, it was completely dry both times.
    2
  220. Thanks!
    2
  221. Thanks for commenting.
    2
  222. Thanks for the feedback!
    2
  223. Thank you. Yes, cold both times. Tractor cooled over night for the 2nd compression test.
    2
  224. It does wear away and has to be added in subsequent oil changes. Thank you
    2
  225. Thank you!
    2
  226. I don't believe so. Thank you
    2
  227. Thank you for this recommendation.
    2
  228. The tractor never did burn oil. However, I did add it to the engine in my wife's car and it's burning much less oil.
    2
  229. Thank you! I'll continue to turn down sponsorship offers. I have no desire for sponsorship!

  235. Thanks for the video idea.
    2
  236. Not yet. I don't have any experience with it.
    2
  237. It seems to be an additive that delivers on it's promises.
    2
  238. This would be a fun test!
    2
  239. Great point. It has an 8 quart oil capacity along with a large displacement for a 4 cylinder.

  252. Great question. It depends. If an engine's piston rings are badly worn and the engine has low compression, engine restore will likely improve the compression. Consequently, fuel efficiency will improve. If the engine doesn't have low compression, it is unlikely to help.
    2
  253. The tractor continues to start much better. I have not pulled the injectors again to test compression, since it's running better. I plan to always use this stuff, since it's pretty cheap and has vastly improved performance.
    2
  254. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  255. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  256. This product will work. Recommend contacting engine restore and asking them how much product to use. Their phone number is available on their website.
    2
  257. Thank you!
    2
  258. Thank you!
    2
  259. Thanks for the suggestion.

    2
  261. Thanks for the feedback.
    2
  262. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  263. This is a great question. Yes, the engine cooled off over night. The original tester broke before the 2nd test and I had to purchase a new one. I was very disappointed that I had to switch gauges. The tractor starts much better than before. Thanks for commenting.

    2
  270. Thank you. I've never accepted a free product or penny from any of the product manufacturers and have provided some honest and negative reviews too.
    2
  271. If the oil is not using oil and runs great, I would not use this product. It's probably not going to hurt, but it's not helping, either financially or mechanically. Just my opinion. Thanks
    2
  272. It seems like it's worth a try. Thank you
    2
  273. This is a terrific post. I really enjoyed reading about your experience with restore. I agree with your assessment that this product works best if the engine damage isn't excessive.
    2
  274. Thanks for the video idea.
    2
  275. Won't be to long.
    2
  276. Impressive! Thank you for sharing the results
    2
  277. This is a great question. I don't believe this stuff creates any sort of sludge or buildup that's difficult to remove. I'll have to do more research. I'm happy to use it to avoid rebuilding the old Ford tractor. I should get many more years of service out of it.
    2
  278. Great feedback. Thank you
    2
  279. I tested it cold both times. The tractor had to cool off over night before the 2nd compression test. The tractor starts and runs better now than before. Thanks for commenting!
    2
  280. Both were cold. Thank you!
    2
  281. Thanks for the feedback.
    2
  282. Thank you. I allowed the engine to cool overnight. It takes a long time to reach ambient. Thank you
    2
  283. I hope you achieve great results. If you have a moment, could you create a comment once you try it to let us know if it helped?
    2
  284. Yes, Restore is still working well. It will wear off without repeated applications. So, I buy a can for each oil change. It's a small price to pay for the improved performance.
    2
  285. Great question, and I don't know. Recommend checking their website or contacting them for more information.
    2
  286. Thanks for commenting. Old compression tester failed during the testing and had to buy a new one. Tractor now starts without block heater or ether.
    2
  287. This is great information! Thank you!
    2
  288. You might consider the additive I used, restore.
    2
  289. Thanks!
    2
  290. You are welcome!
    2
  291. Thanks!
    2
  292. Kyle, This is a great point. Thanks for this suggestion! Thus far, the tractor is continuing to do well and starts fine without use of starting fluid or the block heater. Thanks again!
    2
  293. Thanks for sharing.
    2
  294. Thank you!
    2
  295. Yes, I allowed the engine to cool down overnight. Thanks for commenting.

  300. Missouri, near Kansas City.
    2
  301. Small particles of copper, sliver, and lead fill in the imperfections in the cylinder wall. Thank you
    2
  302. You are welcome!
    2
  303. I haven't changed the oil yet. I only change it once a year, since I don't use it all that much.
    2
  304. If the compression loss is the result of worn piston rings and not valves or head gasket, it will likely help. A leak down test will help determine that. Thank you.
    2
  305. Thanks for commenting!
    2
  306. Thank you for the video idea!
    2
  307. I look forward to the results!
    2
  308. Thank you. No, I would not use it unless the performance of the engine degrades or loses compression.
    2
  309. This is the best product that I've found as long as the low compression is a result of piston ring wear and not the valves. Thank you
    2
  310. Thank you very much for subscribing and thank you for the video project recommendation!
    2
  311. If you don't use it with each oil change, the product will wear off over time. I would recommend using it every oil change or at least ever other oil change. Thank you
    2
  312. Thank you
    2
  313. Thanks for the suggestion.
    2
  314. Thank you!
    2
  315. Thank you very much for the positive comment and the recommendation to do an update video. I'll try to do an update soon. The tractor is still running very well and starts much better than it did before restore. Thanks again.
    2
  316. Thanks for commenting. The tractor starts much better than before. I just finished brush hogging for a couple of hours and the tractor runs great!

  332. It's only designed for 4 stroke engines.
    2
  333. I did a video on it recently, but the engine may have been too much of a challenge for Rislone or any additive. Thanks for commenting.
    2
  334. Thank you. Yes, it does cold start without assistance much better than before. Thanks again.
    2
  335. Hi Mitchel, I presume the noise is the notorious rattle that a lot of 5.3 engines make at startup. I own one that's been making that noise since I purchased it over 140,000 miles ago. For oil consumption, engine restorer will likely help but it won't quiet the rattle. I don't know if any product that will eliminate the noise.
    2
  336. Mashhad, You can use this additive in a small 4 stroke petrol engine. You will only add a small amount of the contents of this container per the manufacturers instructions. I hope this helps.

  345. Great question. Yes, it did help. Thank you
    2
  346. Thanks for commenting.
    2
  347. I add it with every oil change but it can be added every 2nd or 3rd change to maintain the improved performance.
    2
  348. Great question. I presume this ticking is coming from the hydraulic lifters. Recommend beginning with checking the oil pressure. If the oil pressure is normal and has not changed, you might consider trying a full synthetic 10W-30 now that cooler weather is likely a factor. You might consider using seafoam in the crankcase just prior to changing the oil for a few minutes per the Seafoam manufacturer's instructions. Hope this helps.

  373. Petrie, Glad you're getting good results. I've since added it to 2 vehicles that have high mileage and it's helping. The oil consumption in one of them has nearly stopped and fuel efficiency has improved. Thanks for commenting!
    2
  374. Great question. It wears away if not used in subsequent oil changes.
    2
  375. Yes, it starts better now but cold weather it still needs a block heater like most diesels. Thank you
    2
  376. I don't have any idea why you can't subscribe. I've never done anything to block anyone.

  409. Cody, Great question. There is a tremendous amount of "pinging" that occurs and the compression is much higher in a diesel. I don't have any hard science to prove that it causes damage, but it just seems to make sense that the combustion process would cause more stress due to the design of a diesel versus gas. I'd really like to hear the thoughts of others on this topic. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

  442. Jose, Great point. I had to buy a new gauge after the "before" test. It seemed to work okay for the first cylinder during the "after" restore test, and then the little shrader valve in the hose gave out and wouldn't hold pressure. The shrader valve is different than those used in regular valve stems or I could have borrowed one. The new compression gauge hose even had a different fitting and would not connect to the old gauge. I was pretty frustrated that I had to change testing equipment in the middle of the project! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

  479. Patrick, It apparently prevents the fuel system from functioning properly on some engines, which prevents the engine from running. It won't cause mechanical damage...just interferes with normal functioning. At least this is what their website mentioned. Thanks!

  501. Pierre, Great point. I meant to include "Ford" when I mentioned PowerStroke. The Ford Powerstroke uses a high pressure fuel pump/system that doesn't operate properly once exposed to restore. Restore won't hurt the fuel system on the old Ford 5000. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

  527. Craig, Great questions. The engine was cool during both compression tests to prevent variance caused by metal expansion/contraction. It's acceptable to mix restore with new oil or oil that is already in the engine. Also, the benefits of using restore wear off over time and one must use restore periodically per the information I found on their website. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

  596. Reaver 2248, MMO and Restore serve different purposes. MMO does a fine job cleaning injectors and sludge from the crankcase. Additionally, it seems effective at cleaning carbon deposits around the valves and piston rings along with some visible evidence of cleaning the combustion chamber. Restore uses microscopic particles of copper, silver and lead to fill in the cylinder wall imperfections. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

  680. I have not yet tested a product that claims to restore valve stem seals.
    1
  681. That would be interesting!
    1
  682. Awesome! Thank you!
    1
  683. Thank you for this recommendation. I've never used this product and it would be interesting.
    1
  684. Thank you. Yes, it did help it start better. It still needs plugged in on cold days.

  685. Derek, thanks for commenting!
    1
  686. I need to do both of these things soon. I don't know the history of the tractor and it's time to check into the condition of the IP and adjust the valves. Thanks for commenting!

  697. I will try my best to smile!

  702. Thanks for commenting on this. This additive seems different than the others I've tried. This one isn't a viscosity enhancer, but instead uses copper, silver, and lead microscopic particles which fill in the void spaces to improve compression.
    1
  703. Awesome, thank you!

  714. Thank you! It's a great product.
    1
  715. Thanks for the video idea.
    1
  716. I don't believe the 6 cylinder version of restore is less than a quart of product. So, probably around 5.5 quarts of oil plus the product.
    1
  717. Thank you. Yes, it did help a lot.
    1
  718. Thanks for sharing.

    1
  758. It wears away. So, I use it every oil change if the engine is in bad shape and every other oil change for engines just needing a little help
    1
  759. lol. Yes, an open door or window to stay cool.
    1
  760. Thank you for the test idea!
    1
  761. Yes, it can be used in a Gas tractor. Thanks for commenting.
    1
  762. Thank you!
    1
  763. Loren, The tractor now starts without starting fluid or the block heater. It does take several hours for the copper, silver and lead to work into the areas that need filled in. I hope you achieve good results!
    1
  764. I figured that was what you meant. Thank you

  793. Yes, these have to be used again. It's worth it to me, since there's a great performance improvement, but it might not be worth using it in a vehicle that's running fine. Thanks for commenting.
    1
  794. Thank you for the video idea!
    1
  795. I've used it approximately 20-25 hours. I haven't tested the compression again, but it does start better.

  807. Anthony, Yes, I was rather frustrated when the original gauge lost a schrader valve. On a positive note, the Ford tractor now starts without use of starting fluid or the block heater. Thanks for commenting!

  867. Luke, This is a great suggestion. My only concern is that most oven cleaners are chlorinated and unsafe to burn in a combustion chamber. I can setup safe conditions for myself, but there's a risk that lots of others might try oven cleaner after watching my video. What are your thoughts? Thanks for commenting.

  877. Both tests were cold. I allowed the engine to cool off over night. That engine has a lot of steel and really holds the heat well. Since using restore, the engine starts much better and doesn't require being preheated on warm days. Thanks
    1
  878. I'm glad I'm not the only one to do this!

  943. It is a great additive that actually works. Thanks for commenting.
    1
  944. In order to get the most benefit out of this product. I would personally add it during an oil change, unless the oil was recently changed. If added near the end of an oil change interval, it won't be in the engine for long.

  961. All valid concerns. I don't have enough experience with Restore to comment on the long-term use, but I plan to always use it in my tractor to keep the compression as high as possible. It's only 10 per oil change, which seems reasonable. I'm not too concerned about buildup. Personally, I don't think it'll cause any harm if used per the directions. Thanks for commenting.
    1
  962. Others have provided positive comments about DuraLube.

  984. I believe it'll work on a 2 cycle (if it has a crankcase), but recommend checking the restore website just to be sure. If it does not have a crankcase, it won't work, as it's not designed to be added to fuel. Thanks for commenting!

  996. Hector, Thanks for sharing this information. The tractor now starts without use of ether or the block heater. Also, I added restore to my daily driver, which was consuming 1/2 quart per 3,000 miles. The engine is no longer using oil and the MPGs are up slightly. I'm really surprised that this stuff works!

  1012. Thanks for commenting on this. Did the last car have low compression? It's possible that the compression didn't improve as a result of valve issues. A leak down test would likely be conclusive.
    1
  1013. It's running great. Starts much better than before.

  1033. It was cold both times. The engine had to cool overnight to reach ambient. Lots of iron on these old diesels and they hold the heat. Thanks for commenting.

  1037. Thank you! I'll publish a follow-up video soon on this.
    1
  1038. I've used Seafoam in the oil just before the oil change and it helped resolve a bad lifter tick issue. Recommend checking out the Seafoam website and instructions to see if this is the right option. Engine Restorer is more for restoring lost compression. So, I don't believe it'll help with lifter noise.
    1
  1039. Thank you!
    1
  1040. Yes, you're right. It wears off over time.
    1

  1045. Thanks for commenting. I enjoyed reading the comments viewers provided. Quite a few others had similar results. Thanks again. Tractor still starts much better than before.
    1
  1046. Engine restorer is my go to for low compression. Have you done a leak down test to make sure the valves aren't the problem?

  1073. It uses very small particles of copper, silver, and lead to fill in the imperfections. Thank you
    1
  1074. I believe it will help. If you decide to try it, could you please provide an update on whether or not it helps? I have a vehicle that was using oil but didn't smoke and the oil consumption has stopped.
    1
  1075. Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion
    1
  1076. This is an excellent point. A big part of fixing this isn't just the cost in parts, but rather the time investment. Without getting into details, I'm extremely pressed for time. Thanks for commenting!

    1
  1150. Thank you for the feedback. Had you done a leakdown test? I'm guessing that it has a valve problem. Maybe the exhaust valve is stuck in the open position if there isn't any compression
    1
  1151. CaptHollister, Great questions. Both compression readings were taken with a cold engine. The engine cooled overnight to reach an equivalent temperature of the first reading. While I haven't checked the compression in the past couple of weeks, there is a very clear performance improvement, including cold start performance. Thanks for commenting!
    1

  1162. Prelude Dude Si, This is a great suggestion. I'll likely do a follow up video in a few months after I've racked up some hours on the tractor. So far, the performance improvement is very impressive. The tractor now starts without starting fluid or use of the block heater. Thanks again!
    1
  1163. Thanks for the suggestion.
    1
  1164. Thanks for commenting on this. I agree, I wouldn't have believed that it worked unless I tested it for myself. Thanks again.

  1181. A diesel engine will not run if it doesn't have enough compression. Also, it'll be very difficult to start the engine with low compression.
    1
  1182. Thank you for the video idea!
    1
  1183. The first gauge broke before the 2nd set of compression test readings. Rather than buying the same gauge again, I decided to go with a different brand. The engine cooled off overnight before the 2nd test. Engine was cool both times. The tractor does start better than before and performance seems improved. Thanks for commenting.

  1206. Yes, the tractor does start better, since the compression improvement. Thanks for recommending the channel!

  1207. If you decide to try restore, it would be interesting to know the before and after compression test results. The ZDDP and Lucas combination seems like it would work very well too.

  1209. Thanks for the suggestion.
    1
  1210. Thank you. Here's the update. I've also used this in a couple of my high mileage vehicles with good results. It won't help valve issues but will help with low compression resulting from worn piston rings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXIu3oo8z4c

  1286. No, you do not need to change the oil first. However, if your oil is near the end of it's interval, it might help to add it with the new oil change. I recommend adding at least a half of a container of restore in subsequent oil changes to maintain the improvements. I've begun using it in my daily driver and it seems to have helped. Thanks for commenting!

  1445. Thank you! It did a great job on a gasoline engine.
    1
  1446. Yes, you should be able to use it. Recommend checking the Restore website for specific details on how much to use, etc. Thanks
    1
  1447. Recommend contacting the engine restorer customer support folks to see if this product is compatible with your Sea-Doo this would be my choice, assuming the low compression is a result of worn piston rings and not valve issues.

I never want to misrepresent any product, either for the positive or negative. I periodically consult engineers, chemists, and machinist to help establish a fair testing methodology. Thanks again!
    1
  1465. I would not use Restore on a low-mileage engine for sure. I've used it on my daily driver, which has high miles, and the oil consumption has dropped considerably. The tractor now starts without starting fluid or the block heater. So, I'm impressed with this additive! Thanks for commenting!

  1505. I don't put a lot of hours on the tractor at this point. If the farming operation picks up, I may log a lot more hours. I plan to continue to add restore to the tractor. It's very affordable and the performance gains make it a worthwhile investment. It now starts without starting fluid or the block heater. I might do another video on restore and the tractor if I log enough hours on the tractor and if viewers are interested. Thank you for this recommendation!

  1546. I tested the engine cold both times. For the "after restore" test, I had to wait until the following day to test compression. These diesel engines take a long time to cool down. Thanks for the positive comments! By the way, the tractor now starts fine without starting fluid. Huge relief for have an easy starting tractor.

  1553. I didn't keep track of engine temps. I don't trust the precision of the temp gauge in the tractor. It's good enough to determine if the engine is overheating but that's about it.

  1558. Great recommendation.
    1
  1559. I wish I could offer an option, but I don't have one to offer, since adding engine restore to a crankcase isn't an option. There's a small chance the compression is low as a result of piston rings not sealing due to carbon buildup. In that case, you could try using a carbon cleaning additive that's compatible with 2 stroke engines. However, I don't think it'll help too much. Thanks for the question and sorry I couldn't help.
    1
  1560. Thank you! I love the old Ford 500. It's a little OCD...old, cranky & dangerous...just like me. lol

  1579. Pat, this is a great question and I should have mentioned that I did allow the engine to cool down overnight so that I'd have 2 compression readings at approximately the same temperature. Thanks for commenting!

  1580. Thanks for this suggestion. I normally use 15/40 in the tractor.

    1
  1583. Those are great tractors! Not sure if engine restore can help or not but something to consider.
    1
  1584. This is a great point. The first compression gauge had a schrader valve go bad during the "after Restore" testing. Rather frustrating experience. Since using Restore, the engine now starts without using starting fluid or the block heater. Thanks for commenting!
    1
  1585. I wish I could help, but the CVT makes it difficult to determine, since restore might cause an issue.
    1
  1586. Thanks for the feedback.

    1
  1601. Thank you. The compression is a little low for a diesel. It should be around 350 or so.
    1
  1602. I'm guessing the previous owner must have added the turbo. This helps explain why the tractor seems more powerful than the rated 69 HP. Thanks for commenting!

  1609. William, Wow! Thanks for letting me know!

  1619. Thank you. I don't believe it's designed for 2 stoke engines.
    1
  1620. Thank you!
    1
  1621. Thanks for the recommendation. I tested it a while back and didn't notice a compression improvement.

  1637. I'm guessing that the previous owner replaced them. The tractor is over 40 years old and the tires look nearly new.

  1653. I replaced all the fuel injectors rather than bothering with the old ones. I don't believe there are any issues with the injection pump. The engine starts much better now.
    1
  1654. Thanks for the video idea!
    1
  1655. I wouldn't use it unless you're sure the compression is low. If it has experienced a compression loss, this might help. I highly recommend measuring the compression before restore and then 500 miles after using it (if you decide to use it). Hope this helps.
    1
  1656. Great point.

  1661. Great recommendation! I just used the tractor yesterday for a couple of hours and it's running better now than since I acquired it 2 years ago. I remain very impressed but should do a video on it.
    1
  1662. Thank you!

  1691. Thanks for the constructive feedback. First gauge failed after the first round of testing. Instead of buying a gauge that looked exactly the same, I went with a new brand. I also have an update video on tractor.

  1705. I think it would work.
    1
  1706. I can measure compression improvements. Zmax, per the SDS, is 99% mineral oil. Not sure about the other 1%. Not criticizing the product, but I don't quite understand how Zmax, which in mostly mineral oil, will help.
    1
  1707. Thank you for this recommendation.

  1730. Wow! Glad you found a temporary solution.
    1
  1731. Thank you for the video idea!
    1
  1732. The oil is the same thickness. Restore has copper, silver, and lead particles in it to fill in worn areas. Thanks!
    1
  1733. Thank you! It's really helped the Ford 5000 a lot!

    1
  1745. Thank you!
    1
  1746. Yes, it does start better now. I'll be using the tractor today for some brush hog work. The performance since using restore has improved. I'm very familiar with the placebo effect and the cold start improvement and compression test readings are proof that it's actually working. I plan to use this at every oil change. It's not that expensive.
    1
  1747. Yes. It starts much better. I'll continue to use this product in the future.

    1
  1768. This product delivers great results for restoring compression. The tractor is still starting much better.

  1782. Yes, I always test compression when the engine is cool. I did not change the oil before or after restore. I used restore in used engine oil. Restore has copper, silver, and lead particles, which fill the gaps and seams. Thanks for commenting!
    1
  1783. I noticed results after just a couple of hours.
    1
  1784. Thanks for commenting. I really like this Ford tractor. It's built to last.

  1807. Impressive results! Thank you
    1
  1808. I tested the engine cool both times. After using the brush hog, I had to allow the engine to cool off over night. Tractor now starts without starting fluid or block heater.

  1810. Thank you
    1
  1811. Great point! Thank you

  1812. Thank you. I don't think there's any benefit, since it's not an oil substitute.
    1
  1813. Thank you for the video idea!
    1
  1814. The instructions mention adding a small amount as a maintenance dose every oil change. The tractor now starts without the block heater or starting fluid. So, I will gladly pay the extra cost to add a can at every oil change. Thanks for commenting!

  1849. That's a tough one. It depends on why it's leaking. If the bearing are bad and there's excessive wobble/play, additives won't help. If the seal had become hard, a seal condition might help. I had good success with this product: https://www.amazon.com/BlueDevil-Power-Steering-Stop-Leak/product-reviews/B006TZRAT4

    1
  1872. Yes, as long as the piston rings are the cause of low compression and not bad valves. Thank you

  1887. Ford Farmer, thank you very much for this information! I only use the tractor 50-75 hours a year, but might begin using it more in the future. I will definitely want to rebuild the engine and keeping it. Thanks again for this information!

    1
  1898. It's been nearly a year and the tractor still runs great, with improved cold starting performance.

  1910. Thank you for the positive comment!
    1
  1911. Thanks!
    1
  1912. Could you please create a new comment once you've tested it letting everyone know if it helped? Is it possible to perform a compression test before using it and then after a few hundred miles of use? Thank you

    1
  1918. The copper, silver, and lead gradually wear off over time. So, periodic use is necessary. Thanks for commenting!
    1
  1919. Great question. From what research I've done, I couldn't find an negative long term issues. However, I couldn't find any independent test results. Maybe I can test it.

  1924. Thanks for commenting on Restore. Have you done a leakdown test to determine where the compression loss is occurring?

  1945. I'm not sure if the concentration of this product is different for 4 vs 8 cylinder engines. Recommend contacting the restore company. Another option is to purchase 2 containers of the 4 cylinder cans and use 15.2 ounces of it.

  1962. The higher compression ratios cause a lot of pre-detonation. Others have commented that its causes damage.

  1963. LOL! Yes, we've had a crazy winter here too, but fortunately no snow today. Green grass is coming soon!

  1964. Harley, great question. A schrader valve on the first gauge failed during the 2nd set of compression readings. I had to stop work, go to town and buy a new gauge. It was a big disappointment! I need to buy better tools, but there's never enough money. Anyway, the tractor now starts fine without starting fluid or the block heater. I plan to always add a can of restore with each oil change. It's well worth it to me. Thanks for commenting!

  1965. Thanks for commenting on this. Restore didn't seem to be a viscosity enhancer. It's supposed to have very soft metals (copper, silver, and lead) that fill in the scratches. This stuff is very different from Lucas or STP in viscosity. Thanks again for commenting!
