John,
            I purchased the unit new in March '82. That is long enough now
for a good test.
As I indicated, I don't know if the claimed "teflon coating" occurred. I
know it did'nt hurt.
As far as what is on the market today and whether it is worth treating a
motor well after run in, I don't know either.
Maybe others will have an opinion and post it.
The other question is how often to use injector cleaner. I stick it in every
now and then but I have never noticed a difference.

Thanks, Ron Olsen, Brisbane Australia
