That engine ran for several years until the trans went out, but man, did it smoke when you got on it after that flush!

A Mechanic told me about Motor- medic product I think, that puts a layer of ash over the worn-out valve seals to stop the blow by, it worked for me at the time, when I had a problem, plus it filled in the scratches in the cylinder walls, if I remember. The point is there are some products that work for specific reasons. No one product fix all, that is why I have to rebuild my motor now.
