Decreased or uneven compression can cause loss of power, poor fuel mileage, oil consumption and other issues in high-mileage vehicles. When poor compression is the problem, Bar’s Products’ Rislone Compression Repair with Ring Seal is the solution.
According to the maker, Rislone Compression Repair with Ring Seal is a proprietary blend of petroleum additives developed specifically for higher-mileage engines that are suffering from decreased or uneven compression. Low compression can be caused by normal engine wear and decreased sealing between the piston rings and cylinder walls.
Compression Repair fills scratches and grooves in cylinder walls to prevent blow-by gases and compression from leaking past the rings and fouling the crankcase oil. It also frees sticky rings to increase compression while reducing friction and wear. Rislone Compression Repair does not contain any lead that could damage the inside of the engine or be burned and contaminate emissions components or the environment, the maker said.
“Rislone Compression Repair fixes worn-out areas of an engine’s cylinder wall to restore compression and improve engine performance,” said Clay Parks, Bar’s Products vice president of development. “It helps bring high-mileage engines back to life.”
Rislone Compression Repair with Ring Seal (p/n 4444) works with all petroleum-based motor oils, including conventional, high-mileage and synthetic formulas. It is compatible with any four-stroke gasoline or diesel engine, the company said.
