Reminds me of the old "Miracle" tablets that you put into the oil-filler-cap, and it "Magically" brought old, worn piston-rings, valves, bearings, etc..... back to life just like new.......the old "Overhaul in a Tablet". Remember those old ads in the J.C. Whitney catalog actually selling those things? I busted out laughing every time I saw them.
