Ametech Engine Restore Oil

I spoke with them at the NEC and it does appear to be good stuff. I have yet to discuss it with my mechanic.

I am sorry, I forgot to answer the last question on how Ametech works. The CSL particles are copper silver and lead (CSL) in a microscopic matrix. under an electron microscope they look like chocolate maltesers, or space asteroids. they are from 2microns to 20 microns in diameter and because they are smooth they even pass easily through standard 8micron paper filters. the larger particles are first to be adsorbed and absorbed into the scratches (whereever there is heat and friction) and become burnished into the cylinder walls, crank shell bearings, camshaft bushings etc etc. upon dissassembly you can see what is left of the CSl particles as a mottled metal surface, bright silver, dull gray lead and shiny copper - a few years back the Porsche mechanics at Le Mans thought it was 'rust' and were going to hone it out until our guy pointed out that the CSL was the reason the engines had not worn or slowed at all during the race and in fact the lap times confirmed it: the last lap was the same time as the first lap (unheard of before RESTORE CSL).

there are some pictures of the CSL particles on the ebay RESTORE BMW site if you are interested. thks daveb

Mark, yes I saw the 'sales pitch' on the website. What I would like to know is how it actually repairs worn out areas in cylinder walls. What exactly is the additive i.e it's chemical formula.

As I said used it on Rover v8, and the diffrence is unbelive.

ear of the cylinder walls which leads to compression loss. Lost compression results in your engine having less power --- it runs poorly and has sluggish acceleration. It also can cause increased oil burning, exhaust smoking, and poor fuel economy.

RESTORE Engine Restorer and Lubricant is a unique engine additive that repairs those worn-out areas in the cylinder wall thereby restoring cylinder compression and improving engine performance to nearly new original condition. RESTORE is the only product that contains the proprietary CSL formula. This technologically advanced formulation fills in and seals micro-leaks in the cylinder wall. The result is increased engine compression and more engine power. Independent lab tests prove that RESTORE really works to increase cylinder compression.

I was just thinking of 'snake oil'

Sounds like it's a more elaborate palliative than the old "Slick-50" treatment.

I haven't needed to try it yet, as my engine is nowhere near "worn out"; new cylinder head was fitted about 21,000 miles ago.

It's an interesting idea, and we've already got Mark swearing as to its effectiveness, although I wonder whether his car actually needed it....

Errm....
