Temporary 'patch': A product called 'Restore' is the only
additive that I have ever seen that actually works. Saved my
MB 190e with bad valve guide seals and worn rings. It slightly
swells the seals and clings to the deep scratches in the bore
thereby improving ring seal.
It is NOT a repair, just a get-by patch.
No connection with the company, etc., etc..
