Default Best Chemicals to Clean your engine with

Well it seems to me that theres a lot of products on the market that claim to help clean your engine and restore horsepower and I was wondering out of all the products out there whats the best product that you recommend in cleaning your internals

Like stuff you add to the gas tank to clean injectors / fuel systems

and other chemicals you add to the oil to clean cylinder walls and restore compression

whats your favorite and outlooks

Put it in the oil to do the crankcase one. I usually do 1/2 in the gas and half in the oil.

IMO, Seafoam is good for the BBL. MMO is better for the crankcase and I like Lucas in the gas.
