Forget it. Take the time and fix it right.

I never use any of these products, well not since a disasterous outcome in 1975 anyhow. I believe that these are seal conditioners, their basic job is to get rubber to swell. Not sure that helps bad rings, maybe it helps valve seals, might even make things worse if the product has any cleaning properties and it’s rings. I believe that high mileage oil uses the same principle and may be a safer choice using a top shelf brand. Agree that it’s better to fix it properly.

So I come to find out that hopefully my situation is more simple than thought..a local mechanic thinks either the diaphragm or one of the injectors is bad and the other injector is overloading the intake and burning through the exhaust which is the reason for the smoking/smelling of burning gas/oil smell... hopefully this resolves the issue..thank for everyone's time and advice..will update soon.. ✌️

Ok with 🤞I think I have resolved the issue,after a complete rebuild kit in throttle body and a good cleaning with new injectors along with new plugs and fuel filter it seems to be running fine..the smoking from the exhaust has stopped and the oil level is good..A big thanks to all that has shared input on the situation
