Believe it or not this used to be a common practice to stop badly smoking engines from smoking.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS!
Years ago when VW Bug's were plentiful auto car lots used to pour powdered Ajax in the carburetor while revving the engine. It would stop the smoking of the engine and would restore the compression and give life back to the engine that was otherwise past it's usefulness.
It appears that the pistons and walls in the engine were scuffed up enough that they could re-seat and 'sand off' any buildup of carbon from years of burning oil because of bad maintenance or excessive miles.
All I can say is Wow!
