"Motor Up" - user reports?

I recently used motor up in a tired 4cyl dsl ute that we keep as a yard hack. It ran like crap, was hard to start, and vibrated like a motel bed. Immediate results are smoother running, easier start & notable power improvement. This in an almost dead motor. Anyone used it on a better engine? Results please! I'm thinking of doing both the Camagon & the Z with the next service.

Buddy of mine, miracles are not sold in a can. That is all. Rebuild it, swap in a jap motor or dump it.

Cheers Marc, but it performed a minor miracle already on the work truck. Not diluted with snakeoil, is that can! The difference was so major, in such a crapper, that I wonder how well it would work in my other vehicles.

Seafoam would appear to constitute a miracle can too, if the user claims are to be believed. Even die-hard Z owners in the US swear by the stuff, who are the most diehard of the "no additive" devotees.
