Engine Restore
Okay so i just bought a 65 comet. yes another comet, one is never enough. So this ones has a 289 2 barrel. anyway i got it started and it is burning. i haven't had time to run a compression check and do a leak down test. so i was wondering if Engine Restore would help raise compression and stop burning oil. I do have a set of fully rebuilt 289 heads. So if i do find out it is the valve guides I can just swap the heads. My main Question was if Engine restore is a quality product.

I used that (blue liquid in a silver can?) stuff in my really tired 235 before I rebuilt it and it definitely did what it says it will. Cut my oil consumption to one quart every 2 weeks instead of weekly and gave me a definite power boost. I think it is a worthwhile temporary patch.

Yeah that engine restorer really helps a tired old engine. I put some in my old 305 and i could tell a difference even though it leaked it out within the next couple of days.

oil additives
In years past I have had a couple vehicles that had tired engines in them, and needing to get some extra mileage out of them, added a bottle of Slick 50. I discovered that the oil pressure in both engines went up in excess of 15 lbs, and oil burning and consumption dropped off dramatically. It could have been my imagination, but I could also swear both engines even picked up a little pep out of it. You might give it a try. I sure couldnt complain about the results.
Your compression, according to my books, should be 150 PSI. PS; I ran both engines for over a year, and the Slick 50 hung in there, the one treatment was all that was needed. One car I sold an the other I rebuilt.
