Perhaps you are right but I doubt it very much. With all the posts I've read here I would have thought that would have come up. Besides, I did NOT say things got worse since the soak, I said some things got better. I don't believe my pistons are aluminum, and if Kreen or B-12 eats steel or aluminum , they would ship in a plastic container. All that I am saying is that the oil consumption has not been reduced much by the soak and flush attempts, but the compression numbers have improved noticeably.
