Earlier in last year I had asked if anyone had any information or had used the product BG 109.
When I bought my coach 2 years ago I was told that the previous original owner Daniel Bowers)had rebuilt the engine but no receipts were available from the second party.
I did a compression test on 6-3-2013 with the following results:
Compression Test 131600mi
1 120 2 115
3 105 4 115
5 125 6 110
7 125 8 120
AVG-116.875
When I serviced my coach for the winter I added a can of BG 109 and drove it around for ten minutes to get the engine warmed up for an oil change. 6 weeks later (had to borrow the compression gauge back from my brother) I took another reading with the following results:
Compression Test 11-25-13
Added BG109
1 125 2 130
3 120 4 140
5 125 6 120
7 135 8 125
AVG-127.5
The average compression reading increased by 10psi. I was amazed at this. This is only one test and am wondering if anyone else has tried the BG 109 and got similar or different results.
By the way my elevation is just under 5000 feet.
