      Probably hydrolocked it and slightly bent a rod, the squealing you can hear at idle and it struggling to idle is because one of the rod bearing is now in constant contact with the crank. What he was using was essentially the same thing as seafoam. Sprayed too much at low rpm.

    I work in a place where we do some treatments similar to the can and the smoke and rough idle is just part of it. I also would say the carbon in the engine was keeping everything sealed and in place. I’d say throw some more oil stabilizer in it and call it a hard days work!

    This reminds me of the urban story of Lemmy from Motörhead in the 90s. According to the story, a bunch of big stars were getting blood transfusions to cleanse their bodies of all the coke and stuff they misused in the 70/80s. And Lemmy was well known for living the rock & roll lifestyle. So he goes to see the doc and requests the that they pump him full off that good good clean blood. After a few tests and talks about his habits, the doc turns to Lemmy and says. "Dude, your blood is so fucked up that it would be instant death for any other human. If we were to give you a blood transfusion, your body would instantly shrivel up and die." So our good pal Lemmy shrugs his shoulders and return home, not more healthy, but filled with the knowledge that he is as a matter of fact the most metal man alive.

      As someone who sets up blood transfusions in a hospital lab setting, that is the most ridiculous urban legend I've ever heard. Getting a blood transfusion unnecessarily would literally do nothing for them. Donor blood is so precious, I cannot imagine anywhere wasting it on something so stupid. Especially when, if the implication is that they have built up toxins in their blood that their body is somehow unable to get rid of, dialysis would do the job a million times better and not involve the hassle of a conplete exchange transfusion, which does not just involve RBCs but also involves fresh frozen plasma, cryopercipitate, and platelets. Again, all donated by people assuming the products would go to people in life threatening situations, not on useless "treatment" for rich people.

    We have a similar "engine cleaning product" In the states. The most common one is called Seafoam. During use, they recommend holding the throttle at higher RPMs while putting it in the intake side. And after its burnt out, they recommend a spark plug change.

    You could still try the spark plugs. I've had ones that looked perfectly fine but ended up being the problem any way though an easy test for the engine values would just be a compression test but because of whst happened before it died id replace the plugs and check the air sensor and o2 sensor.

      like, they put engine reconditioner after putting engine honey into it. These engine reconditioners are always fucking up oil beyond working condition and after they defo needed to change it, but it seems they weren't bothered. So they got thick goop in their oil pan with a bunch of chemicals without proper lubricating properties, I think.
