Your compression will go up but the spring back on the rings will not be able to scrape it from the Cylinder walls and you will burn oil like crazy. This is why I use the Rislone "engine Treatment" and not the "Oil Treatment".That is also the extremely viscous engine honey. It will make your bike smoke like crazy and the clutch will slip.
The Restore stuff I used in that old Chevy was a little thinner STP, but it had some dark particulate matter in it (maybe graphite) that supposedly filled in scratches and closed up excessive clearances. At least that's what the commercials said anyway. But when I used it, it occured to me that this particulate matter was probably just clogging up my oil filter.
Funny thing about that old Chevy, it had so many miles on it, the timing chain actually stretched far enough to wear a hole through the timing cover. So I put another timing chain and cover on it, along with a set of reconditioned heads I bought for thirty bucks, and it ran great, for a while. Soon the rings couldn't handle the pressures the new heads were producing and it started burning oil REAL bad.
