Will A Catch Can & Engine Restore Additive Help With Compression & Smoking On My Grand Marquis?

- In this video I look into a smoking issue I'm having on my lifted 02 Grand Marquis, only to find that I have low compression on one cylinder. I try out some Engine Restorer and add a Catch Can to the PCV system to try and resolve the issues. I perform compression tests (before and after) with the Engine Restorer product, and show before and after results for the smoking concern. Thanks for watching!!

I was AMAZED by the results on this one!
Been using it for decades it has always worked for me sometimes dump two 16oz cans in it for it to work faster.
Restore is amazing. Better than any other additive. I had the same issue with my 4.6 mustang and it cleared the smoke right up and gave excellent compression. I also used it on my 4.0 L V6 Jeep which had a lifter tick, used it for about four oil changes and have not used it since and the tick has not ever returned.
I haven't had any issue since putting both the restore in, and the catch can on. I will be using the restore though in my other rides just based on the compression #'s alone. Thanks for watching!
Love it when fixes are relatively cheap even when we have to give buy another tool to do the job. Crazy the CC drain plug was so lame that it didn't really snug up to create a solid seal. Cheers!
Yeah I was initially surprised by the "quality" of the catch can, so I wasn't surprised when that happened. I got what I paid for. At least it was an easy fix. Thanks for watching!
Sweet video! Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Awsome video man, ive got 3 towncars. love these old panther platforms.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Holy shit brother. I used to be a Manger at Advanced Auto Parts in 05' to 08' I used to sell atlot of that stuff. Hloy crap it really works!!!!! Cool.
This was my first time trying it, but after using it, I'm gonna start using it in all my rides. Thanks for checking it out!
My 92 grand marquis burns it and leaks it I'm sure at the rearmain but I just put some in it when it needs it and change the filter when I need to. Car runs like a top but if you step on it yea it smokes not at idle really at all. Only when I really step on it.
Yeah mine is the opposite. It only smokes after idling for a while. None while driving.
Hello, Super video, I have a mower tractor, Briggs and Straton Bicylinder 16 CV engine, can be used to restore compression ?
I would think it should be fine. You would just need to figure out how much to add to your oil.
Great video and awesome results. Makes me want to try this on my mint 99 Crown Victoria. What kind of oil catch can did u buy?
Thanks! The catch can is just an inexpensive one from eBay. Since I wasn't sure if it would have any effect, positive or negative, I didn't want to spend a lot on it. It is still in the car and haven't had any issue with it.
@@EvanWells07 Cool Cool next on my order list. Thanks....
No problem!
Interesting video! Is the Restore supposed to be left in until the next oil change, or is it supposed to be left in for a few tanks of gas or a couple of months - then an oil change? I do realize it's totally different from Seafoam (which should be an oil change a little while after adding to oil) but I wonder if it's harder on engine bearings if left in for several months/year. Thanks.
It's an additive that's meant to be left in.
I have a 92 grand marquis that smokes I was noticing that I have 2 vacuum hoses that go into the throttle body would I have to get 2 oil catch cans?
No. The easiest way is to use the line that is for the PCV already. Just run the line from the PCV to the catch can, and the other line back to where the PCV line used to attach at the intake.
@@EvanWells07 I'm going to mention you on a post so you can see what I'm more or less looking at because I have the pcv that goes into the intake but I also have another on that comes from the back of the motor to the intake.
@@ScrewedUp915 yeah just don't worry about the second one. All you are trying to do is catch the oil vapor from the PCV and stop it from going into the intake.
mine only smokes when it reaches operating temp, also no blow by, zero blowby in fact, i suspect stuck oil rings
Mine would only do it after it was warm and had idled for a while. I suspect it was puddling up oil in the intake and then when I would give it gas it was sucking it in and burning it.
My 09 P71 with 84k miles smokes as soon as i turn it on, i was told by my tuner that it's most likely worn piston rings.. :/ Anything i can do to try n fix it without opening her up?? An MMR 5.0 stroker 1,000rwhp 9.8 cr kit 20 over bore is on it's way already, building the engine anyway, it's cheaper in labor costs doing all at once rather than modding it in steps as i had intended, TrickFlow 44cc Race heads n stage 3 MHS TFS cams.. Check out a few videos i have of my car..
You could try the engine restore product. May help, may not. But it's cheap and easy. Other than that, It may just be worn rings, and not much you can do without a rebuild.
@@EvanWells07 For sure man, how do I get that product?? I guess I'll Google it.. But yeah, building my engine for a supercharger, thanks for your reply..
@@P71ScrewHead I got mine at Walmart, but any parts store, or probably Amazon will offer it as well. Thanks for checking out the video, and good luck with the build it sounds rad!
I ran two "V8 formula" sized cans in my 1996 5.9 cummins 12 valve. I had a little bit of blowby. Immediately after putting this in my truck it started to sound quieter. I have had a background tapping noise for the last 80k miles and it almost completely went away.
After a couple of weeks I removed my oil cap to check on the blowby and started the engine.... NO MORE SMOKE. Zero smoke. I have 400k miles on this engine and I swear I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and a brand new rebuild in terms of blowby. Holy shitfucktits what is in that stuff?
Magic I think? When it works, it works really well. Glad to hear it worked for you!
Think this could be added every oil change as preventative? I’ve got 117k on my Jeep 4.0, no issues at all, just curious the long run? It’s my DD, trying to get to 500k 😂
I'm sure it could. It will probably say on the the bottle the recommended intervals. My oil changes are so infrequent that I just use it every time. I have started using it on all of my vehicles as well.
Engine Restore NEEDS to be added with every oil change. If you don't, the smoking will return within about a few hundred miles of driving as the sacrificial, low-melting metals wear away.
Nice video Evan 👍🏻
Is it good til now (one year later)?
Doing great! Still no smoke, still running good. I have drained the catch can probably 3-4 times since the video and every time it has had around 1/8 to 1/4" of oil in the bottom.
@@EvanWells07 nice to hear Evan 👍🏻
Seems to be a very good additive
@dasgehtsienichtsan yeah it worked well for me, and the catch can is doing it's job. Can't complain!
Tryed this on my 01 dodge ram 2500 5.9 low compression in 3 cylinders......didn't help at all .....
Sorry to hear. Some times it won't, like if you have a valve sealing issue, or something like that.
I installed mine, but my car started shaking so bad when I put it up on drive
You installed a catch can and it was shaking? Was it a vented can that basically caused a vacuum leak? That's why I went with a sealed one.
Actually, I find out its not from the catch can, I have vacuum leak from other hoes
Yeah that will do it.
Tube bumpers!
I need garage space for that.
You know that this metal particles additive, scratches and embed in all you bearings, right? Its good for cyllinders, but a total ruin for bearings... so, only use it as a last ditch.
First I've heard of this.
I've never heard this either. There are also micro metal particles floating in your oil due to wear (which is why we run filters and change the oil). I highly doubt they would sell a product as an oil additive that will ruin your engine - maybe if they sold it as a "repair" type product like blue devil head gasket repair.
@@EvanWells07 Yeah, you highly doubt and the Earth still keeps spinning ... good luck with your oil filter taking anything below huge 20 micron rocks naive guy.
@cmte.brazinazzo2061 so what's your point? That my motor is gonna blow up because they sold me a bottle of metal shavings? I looked it up instead of trying to argue, it does contain copper, silver, and lead, which are what bearings are made out of (well not silver, but it says "trace amounts") in amounts around 2 microns. Bearings are typically constructed of copper, lead, or aluminum alloys in various designs.... I'm not claiming that it rebuilt my engine or anything like that, just that imbedding lead particles in a lead/copper bearing doesn't seem like a "ruin for bearings" as you put it.
@@EvanWells07 ok put some more, then, maybe it doesn't scratch your journals for a few months. But if making your old bearings to go chewing metal because its composition is a seemingly matter is your thing, go for it! Ah, the journals cant handle too much carbon, but metal is another animal, tough.
Thought you weren't supposed to use Restore on VVT engines?
The 4.6 2v is not VVT
You may need some piston rings
Since the catch can and engine restore it has stopped smoking all together. I have emptied the catch can twice since installing. It wasn't full either time, but had enough oil to cause some smoking.
Cylinder 3🤌
She's a 'beaut Clark!
Or valve stems are leaking some oil into your cylinder
That was my initial thought, but since it stopped doing it, now I'm thinking it was just a little excess from the pcv system.
