First off - I don't like the implication that I'm lying. I know what I'm talking about and I proved what I set out to prove.
It is 100% conclusive. The pistons of ALL the engines were indeed black, some as I said had marginal compression, some were excellent. After runs with the blend, the pistons were much lighter in color but there was NO CHANGE in compression. What caused the change in color? I have no idea. BUT, if it was due to the removal of substantial carbon or varnish buildup, it would have surley reduced compression.
I also find it hard to beleive that a compression seal on an engine can come from built up or caked on varnish and then be damaged by a lubricant
The information I quoted did not come from you - I doubt that the fellows who told me even know you. It was probably around 15 years ago.
I spent enough years in research and development to stand by the quote about test versus opinion.
You just stated that synthetic blend WILL remove the castor varnish. Sounds like a statement of fact to me. Do tell, what tests did you perform to prove your statement?

First off Bob, You brought this up by suggesting that someone who said this was lying, Suggesting that I was a liar, I didn't use that word , you did, I will stand by the "facts" I wrote.
I also stated that your engines must not have been worn or gummed that badly. I never said "all" engine would be ruined, or loose compression
The synthetics in the fuel I use will clean the burned on sludge from Castor off of pistons, and It will also clean the Castor burn out of ring grooves and rings. It will not happen immediately, it takes time, but it will clean the insides of engines.
Your test does not have any bearing on what happens to engines other than yours, You are trying to tell me that what I saw with my own eyes didn't exist. It did, and what I wrote is absolutely true.
Tell people what happened to your motors, don;t say others are not telling the truth about their findings.
By the way I have told people this for over 30 years, and have written several articles mentioning this for the past 2 decades.
I have had many of my customers and friends that have had rings stuck in the grooves by all castor fuel, and YES running a synthetic blend most of the time helped unstick the ring and helped the motor get back running well, without dissembling for cleaning, so I would say ,yes, the blended fuel helped clean the ringed engines too.
