IMO, if your car is leaking little or no oil, give it a shot.  If it doesn't improve or get worse, a cylinder boring or cylinder head repair might be in order.

Well basicly the car idles a little ruff. I have done everything I can think of to correct it.
Even had a compression test run to make sure I didnt have a bad valve.
From the stuff ive had to do to the car I think that the car was lacking in normal repairs. IE spark plugs, fuel filter, stuff like that so I think I might just have an excess of carbon build up in the engine. I was told this should help out but I just wonder how much?

And no. No oil leak
