So if you have one of those underlying Mechanical problems and the Redline,etc.Didn't provide the relief expected or anticipated ,the tendency
would be to blame the lack of results on the Additive rather than the
Lack of Maintenance.

Valve adjustments and tranny flushes every 15 to 20. I love the way it sounds when it first starts, quiet and even. once it is warm then I hear the bits and pieces. I'll try the additive and if that doesn't work I'll take a saturday and do the nozzles.
It may be that I am just crazy and want it to be perfect. I put about 100miles on it a day and change the oil hot and often.
up till now I have only put oil in the crank case and diesel in the tank.
