Fellas,
I was told that the reason I was having trouble passing SMOG (sic) in Calif. was due to low pressure in cylinder #1--120psi and #3 120psi. the other two cylinder are both 165psi. The Speedee Oil change mechanic said that that may be the reason why I failed my original test. Second, the shop manager said that your engine is bad and he recommends I put in a new engine.
I went to the O'reilleys Auto. They recommend Restore Engine. You simply add this to your oil, they said, and within 100+ miles you should have higher compression in your two lower engine cylinders. Does this make sense? Or, is this O'Reilley counter guy 100% correct or is he "all wet"?
Your thoughts? I have to visit my SMOG shop tomorrow to get my tags, and hopefully pass, in order to be legal before driving to Saint Louis MO (I live in Elk Grove, CA).
Cordially,
kevin
