Engine Restorer vs CD2 Stop Leak w/ Amite

Hello Civic fans,
I've got a 91 DX, D series 1.5L, 92 horsepower, with worn rings. Burns a lot of oil. I'd like to get about two more years out of the engine.

Question: Should I use

1) Engine Restorer?

2) CD2 Stop Leak w/ Almite?

3) Rislone Piston Ring Seal additive?

4) Don't use ANY 'stop leak' product and just keep topping it off w/ fresh oil?

Would a "restore" type product be less risky to use in a clean engine as opposed to a sludgemonster w/ carbon deposits?


I have done several searches and found differences of opinion on 'Stop Leak' products.

I've already been cleaning the engine with AutoRX which is similar to an engine flush type product. Once the cleaning is complete i plan to add the 'stop leak' to the oil. I'm hoping getting the engine clean before the 'stop leak' stuff will minimize the chance of 'stop leak' gunking up my engine to the point of failure.

Compression is decent but it burns a lot of oil. It's not the PCV or Vavles or leaky gasket. I would like to get a year or two more out of the engine before a swap or other upgrade.

People have recomended Engine Restorer. It's cheaper than a rebuild.

Your thoughts? Thanks for reading.
