Not at all. I'm open to opinions however, when one claims that a product performed a minor miracle, I think it's only fair to have the claim substantiated.
Did the OP open up the engine to see if the rings were carboned up? Was a compression test performed before and after the application of the elixir?
I know from first hand experience, and I'm certain that there are other seasoned participants who will agree, that coked up rings will NOT be cured by any fuel additive.
Without tearing the engine apart and physically inspecting the condition of the rings before and after, suggesting that product "A" will clean the carbon out, is simply misleading.
I'm not saying your test are flawed.....but do you think there is a chance that real world heat,pressure,etc that are a part of a running engine could allow the chemicals to act differently than they did on a test bench? People have always claimed water will remove some carbon build-up but I assume if you soaked a piston in a cup of water you would not see much cleaning.
I don't know about this use but I can say that after 15 years as a maintenance electrician at Delphi and using that kroil oil on everything,it is simply amazing.
It will clean almost anything and no other penetrating oil I have used even comes close. We tried everything there and it was the best.
