added: Justice Brothers Engine Tune-up
my car has been sitting for over a year now and when i went to start it the other day i could hear tick tick tick sound by each one of the injectors or the cylinders so i tried this product and much improvement it works.
so if anyone of you have that ticking noise give this a try..... it claims Add to motor oil to free sticky valves and lifters Protects new engines during break-in Helps engines run cooler, smoother and quieter Protects engines from harmful acids and corrosion Treats the Metal, Not the Oil® Contains JB Metal Conditioner® has anyone added this to there oil i am not a big fan of additives but i had to do something....

Re: added: Justice Brothers Engine Tune-up
I'm not an expert on car repair.... I do know there are a few things that can cause the upper end of our cars to "tick"... fuel injectors, Coils shorting out, valves tappets not being lubricated...
I also know that additives don't do anything much more than mask a problem generally. Keep an ear out for the tick..investing in a stethoscope.. or using a small rubber or plastic tube (carefully so as to not blow out an eardrum) to localize the sound is always a good diagnostic tip.

Re: added: Justice Brothers Engine Tune-up
your additive probably did exactly what it needed to by coating the valve tappets and adding some extra cleaning agents to your oil. not the worst thing to do because the car had been sitting for so long but you will probably want to change your oil and not put the additive in, after all the oil is a year old. if you don't have any mechanical issues then it should be fine without it.
