There was just a thread on another forum where a guy swears he stopped an old car from smoking by putting Bon Ami cleanser down the carb and it stopped burning oil! He said he put a small amount of cleanser into some gas and slowly poured the solution down the carb as the engine ran, and the cleanser "honed" the cylinder walls and rings enough that they seated.

I am not recommending it, but if it is a high milage car that you just want to get some more time out of.....................

BTW, he suggested changing the oil immediately after so that any cleanser that gets past your rings into the oil wouldn't hurt the bearings, etc. I don't know if it works, I'm just reporting.
