Anyone had any experience using Holts Piston Seal? I phoned Holts
to ask - among other things - if it's safe to use on cars with lambda

of them.

Surely they don't still sell that rubbish?

Bores and pistons these days usually outlast the car. Unless you hole a
piston through a major fault - and piston seal won't do much for that.

Thanks

You know Dave, I once used some on an old Escort Estate that I had. The
compression was so low that it struggled to start at all. After putting in
the piston seal, it was like a new engine, and it lasted for a very long
time until I got rid of the motor. Whether it's still any use with today's
engines though, I wouldn't like to say.

Ask over on

There's some good ol' boys on that group who are very knowledgable.
