So This weekend I went to home depot to buy some black magic engine shine. Which I have used it previously and like it as I don't have to cover anything. Anyways this time around I made sure that it covers all the parts in bore including electric connectors. I washed it pretty good, let engine dry for couple of hours. Turns out, significant amount of vibration is gone. So is it electrical connectors or something else? anyone?
Interesting.. well atleast to me.

I don't know what you're driving, so I'll speculate. The only thing I can think of is while fiddling with your engine, you've accidentally improved a connection between your distributor and the spark plugs, be it between the wires / cap or the wires / plugs, and now the cylinder that was occasionally missing is now firing correctly.
I drive a Camry 4 banger. And all i did was to spray it around no fiddling at all. Just spray and hose it off.
You inadvertently lubricated the rubber engine mounts with the stuff (and water), leading to a temporarily smoother engine. Similar to how your suspension feels new and supple in the rain. I get a more lasting quiet and smoother suspension by glopping every rubber part I can reach under the car with rubber protectant about once a year. I admit it. I'm a BITOGer.
