Restore itself is quite thick,is it not I haven't used it in years. The cam sensors were not effected if you have ever seen where they sit they are not in any oil and would have minimal contact with the oil. They don't sence pulses either they are magnetic and the cams have multiple grooves cut out in a certain order and the sensors read that. The issue is all of the small orifices may not become plugged but with the thick restore the pressure be.comes too high and they do not allow the VTC to function properly.
