Just curious, but would this have SERIOUSLY F*cked my car?
 

I think the engine in my 87TII is officially finished, killed again by detonation. This is the second time it happened. But just before my 2nd engine died, I had an oil leak problem with my turbo seals and so I started using 20w50 oil. It still leaked oil into my exhaust, so I bought some Barhaul STOP SMOKE & STOP LEAK additive and threw that in there. It instantly cured the problem! No more smokin' TII. Then ran like that for 2 weeks until my engine went...just wondering if adding that shit in did anything bad to the engine. I WANT to know, so I don't try this again for my NEXT engine if it was a BAD idea!:bash:

I have no idea what this sh!t is, but anything you add to your oil that doesnt burn AND doesnt burn FULLY will eventually kill your engine :( Same thing as with synthetic vs. mineral, or oil additives that "improve" performance...:rolleyes:

my last engine started smokin BADLY, so i used some cheap stop smoke additive... the engine was dead about a week later..

do you blame the smoke? or the stop smoke?... i leave you to ponder..

I've used that stop smoke additive before...it's been about 35K miles ago, but no smoke and engine is running strong.


Maybe I just got lucky......
