We run a half-dead engine on oil treatment additives - who knows, maybe it will come back to life?

    Do this with fuel additives instead of fuel!

    WOW! I'm an 'OLD AMERICAN GEAR HEAD(80 yrs. old) that still works on his own high mileage Ford truck. I do use additives. BUT not all mixed together, ha, ha,ha. I can't believe that engine is still running that good. I really enjoy your videos. You guys put a smile on my old face. Thank you. Sincerely, BFJ Rajkiewicz.

    18:43 human exhaust gas analyzer! The voiceover is first-rate, as always. I also like seeing the cityscape and the traffic.

    Project Farm did several videos regarding additives. They usually do their job with reasonable expectations. They aren’t a mechanic in a bottle, but you can expect seal leaks to become a bit less of an issue (maybe even stopping completely), and potentially some slight improvements to smoking/noises/compression, albeit small. I’d call them “better than oil alone” for old, tired engines, and with that said, I often use Lucas.

    i had an accord with the f23 engine. It too did the same thing, turns out the oil control rings on that particular engine loved to sludge up and get stuck, once they were stuck these engines were ticking time bombs and all this effort to control the smoke is moot because the blowby causes the intake to clog up full up carbonized oil via the egr port. So even if any of this did anything to help the oil control rings, the engine is still sucking in its own carbon and oil deposits from the egr side anyways and slowly killing itself in the process. all that needs to be done is replace the rings and clean the upper engine stuff (intake manifold will be full, lap the valves and clean the all the carbon out) and it will live to see more miles

    BMI russians level of detail for the translation is so out of this world, those guys do a good job... they even recreate and mimic the sound of the radio when they are speaking from different vehicles. and you even get the tone of how they are speaking just right.... hats off to you guys, keep up the great work! you too boys down at Garage 54!!!
  • @D.H038
    The longer videos are better! After 10minutes when your fully into it, It does'nt suddenly ends. Keep the good work up guys!
  • @solidgold4293
    Hi guys do a deep clean on the Honda engine like you did on the previous video. See if it brings it back to life
  • @ygorlhano
    Since the engine kept burning so much oil, maybe you should try to run it only with that thick anti smoke additive in it. Great video as always!

    Once I had a V8 Holden (Australia) car with an old engine. I made water injection and plugged it onto the inlet manifold. It was a bottle, some clear fish tank tube, a fish tank air adjuster to adjust the water flow. It worked well, I used it for over a year. I then rebuilt the motor and realised the port on the manifold only allowed the water to one bank of the V8. Half of the motor was very dirty, oily and with carbon deposits... the other half was clean... like new...no carbon, absolutely clean?? With your smokey, gunked up Honda... try putting a garden hose with a fine mist spray of water into the throttle body so that you can see steam come out of the exhaust. Don't run so much water mist to hydraulic lock the motor, but enough to see steam from the tail pipe. I think maybe after an hour or 2, the water may clean and free up the rings/valves intake runners etc... give it a go... it can't hurt haha Greetings from Australia
  • @delpsdayoff3372
    You should send it off for a used oil analysis to see how much antiwear additives n such
