I had a bad experience with RESTORE in a Mitsubitshi engine with tight clearances similar to the SVX. After I put it in the engine there was a loud squeeling noise for about 10 minutes. It was very un-nerving at the time as we were going on vacation. The engine worked okay for some time after that but I think the restore was a little too thick for the parts that were still good.

I have used MMO for a few oil changes and I think it has helped. This tends to clean out deposits from around the rings and also the lifters.

Beav recommended something that will help reseat the rings.

The PVC and has to be working properly or can cause problems.

I think it would be a good idea to drive "softly" for awhile and see if the rings recover.
