I was asking questions about my truck which has a V-10 Triton a 1997
with 70K miles on it and one of the cylinders is low. It looks like it
is a valve situation. I was wondering has anyone ever had any positive
results from something that is added to the fuel or oil? I bought this
stuff for $35.00 that guaranteed to clean the valves and prevent
further damage to the engine. This stuff and reslone and other goo
that promises the world. Every place recommends these things but I am
wondering if anyone has actually had any positive experiences with this
stuff or is it all just a ripoff?

Thanks

Not much information here. Not sure what "this stuff" and "other goo" are,
so can't comment on them.
Rislone (your reslone, I assume) is a good product but it isn't a cure-all.
Nothing is.
Until we know what your "valve situation" is, can't comment on that, either.

Keep in mind that no product from a bottle will fix a mechanical problem
(yeah, you could argue that a stuck part might get loosened). Depending one
what the problem is, I would not recommend you start dumping goo and stuff
in your crankcase.
