Has anyone used Ametech Engine RESTORE?

[SafariDave]

What has been your experience, and for what have you used it for for. To fix or cure what?

[ArmyRover]

Dave why must you do this again

[TerryS]

No, but word on the street is it will help regrow lost hair.

This is the last product I would like to hear about? I've only tried the Lucas Oil Treatment.

Nissan Primera SE P11
SR20DE naturally aspirated engine
120,000 Miles on the clock
Current Bore Pressures = 130, 125, 120, 90
Daily Mileage = 60+
1. OK Initial test of compression gives the following figures:
cylinder 1 = 130 PSI
cylinder 2 = 125 PSI
cylinder 3 = 120 PSI
cylinder 4 = 90 PSI
Car is very lumpy to drive, no power at the top end.
Oh, and I did perform a full oil change a few months ago, so its not like I am comparing new oil to old, the only difference will be in the ametech!

2. Got in touch with Ametech. They say Flush the engine, fit a new filter, and add new oil (with no additives i.e stop smoke, slick 50 etc). I decided to put in 15/40 as figure I will need slightly thicker oil than standard spec.
I was advised to put 40ml of the RESTORE directly into Cylinder 4 (through the spark plug hole) and the rest of the 400ml tin into the engine with the new oil.

3. Attempted this tonight.
-On starting the car had HUGE amounts of smoke from the exhaust.
-Left to idle for 20 mins, smoke lessened, but by no means stopped.
-went for a drive. After driving for about 5 miles (Revved the car up under load a few times) the smoke seems to have dissipated. Still smells bad though. Funnily enough, the power seems to be back (not properly tested tho as a bit worried to rag it at the moment) and the car revs up very smoothly, no obvious flat spots.

4. Took the car out for a spin around the ring road. (thought I would let everything settle from part 3)
This time thought i would give it a good belt and see if it had improved. All I can say at this point is WOW.
It pulls in every gear, I know it is wet, but it was lighting up the tyres in 3rd (it wouldn't do this earlier today and it was raining then)
I had it red lined in 4th and the speed it got there was such an improvement!
I am a little disappointed that the tapping noise is still there, but apparently if I take off the rocker cover and apply a little directly to the rockers and cam lobes etc this should quieten also, something to try later I think!!! I have a 30 mile drive to work tomorrow so will be interesting to see if it returns to being gutless over night.

5. Well I made it to work! Again noticed a definite improvement. This time I was primarily concerned with the low rev power. The car used to feel very flat before the "magic" 4K mark, and usually it was at 5K before it felt like the cams had properly kicked in. Now, it pulls nicely throughout the whole of the bottom end and when it hits 4K the cams kick in nicely.
As I said in point 4, there is still a tapping noise that is driving me mad, but i think this is worn tappets. I think I need to do as suggested and remove the cam cover to fix this! Next task - Compression Test.

6. OK, as promised I did another compression test tonight.
So lets get right down to it!
Cylinder 1 now = 140 PSI +10
Cylinder 2 now = 135 PSI +10
Cylinder 3 now = 130 PSI +10
Cylinder 4 now = 135 PSI +45
Also keep in mind since putting the RESTORE into the engine I have driven over 65 miles so I am pretty damn pleased with the results.
I still know this may be a temporary fix, so I plan to keep testing periodically over the next 6 months as see how well it performs.

7. After 1000 Miles I have re-tested the compression and again I have found no drop in compression. The car is running smoothly and pulling in every gear.

8. It is now 3 months, and 4000 miles later on and the car is still running well. The car no longer burns oil (It requires no topping up as it used to) The flat spots have still not returned. The car doesn't feel as pokey as it did immediately after the treatment, but I think this is down to the ECU. I am very pleased with the results. I did a compression test after 2500 miles, and there was no drop from the 2nd set of readings. :-) Malcolm Solley UK

I have used it in old series rover gas motors and it is great it really does make a difference.

[Irons1990County]

For those who have reported positive effects from Ametech Engine Restore, how long have the effects lasted? 1,000 miles? 10,000 miles? Any degradation over time?

I'm guessing that the the user "enginerestore" is with the company that makes the product of the same name. They seem to have joined for no reason other than to add testimonials from the company's web site. Those posting shameless plugs should at least take credit for them and say who they are.
