Please do a "Dynamic engine oil change" video. Where you open an oil drain plug a little bit on old and dirty engine and keep pouring fresh oil in from the top. How many litres does it take to get it clean?

You can cook food even in motor oil but they just become inedible. Eating toxic food is not an experiment but suicide.

[@billkillernic]

You dont do that "water bath" because the heat is less intense inside (otherwise just boiling at lower heat would suffice) you do it because boiling water is steady @100c and doesnt increase in temperature (if you boil it on an open casserole like this ) no matter how big a fire is underneath it. This has as a result the inside smaller casserole to be at a steady 100c without increasing in temperature

Fill an engine with diesel fuel, pour it into the valve covers and let it completly overfill. Then grab a air nozzle, mount a brake line to it, remove the dip stick insert the brake line into where the dip stick goes. Add just enough air to make bubbles and let it sit overnight. There was one vw guy, he would do this to clean sludge on engines.

Sounds pretty viable, would likely free stuck piston rings too.

You ran it at too low an RPM. The air speed inside the port allowed the copper sulfate to drop out of suspension and pool at the throat of the port. Run it at 3,500RPM.

You guys should spray foaming degreaser into the engine and rev to 2500 rpms. See what the results are!!

"almost" every metal is more reactive than copper, meaning that whatever metals come into contact with the copper sulphate is going to sacrificially kick the copper out of the sulphate (hence the copper deposits) and replace with whatever metals are in the engine (iron, aluminium, etc). so yeah this was a terrible idea, you're just eroding the engine's metals and filling it up with copper deposits. evidently this was not suggested by anyone with chemistry/metallurgy experience. lol

[@tonylewis4661]

In a future video, please try to clean the intake valves on a direct injection engine using frozen carbon dioxide ice crystals, and compare to use of walnut shells for cleanig

[@michaelhamilton3778]

#4 has no compression … because it has no rings anymore. Copper is a GREAT abrasive. And if I’m not mistaken, will turn to sludge when it comes in contact with oil. But should be really pretty to look at. Also copper sulfate works great if you wanna clean up a pond.

Use a HHO hydrogen generator , but instead not to extend gas mileage, but to see if it will clean sludge. I’m curious if hydrogen will breakdown Corbon=Carbon bonds.

[@martinp8427]

hydrogen generators are designed to provide a better fuel burn and therefore leave less carbon or any at all during the combustion process. this may not take out old and baked up carbon deposits. Maybe you are talking about carbon clean procedures?

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Based on my own dabbling in electroplating, I wouldn't think using a humidifier would works, as the copper would be too heavy and wouldn't be retained in the water droplets. So it'll be interesting to see if the thumbnail was actual, or the typical photoshop job 😅 _edit: Well, more made it in than I expected!

How about adding half a quart of transmission fluid to your oil about 500 kilometers before your next oil change? How much sludge will it remove, if any right?

Has anyone heard of cleaning engine sludge with copper sulfate before watching this video?

If it's not aluminum, try sodium hydroxide. I was hoping you would descale the residue and inspect the metal.

Clean the crap out of the ports and off the valves, along with the valve seats, put back together with new stem seals, using a new head gasket, and you should have good compression.

now i would hose it out with water. crank it and give it some high test gas.pul it down the road . to see it te rings would come back to life i mean phosphates burn hot. the ring grime might burn out. i have used the old style ajax cleaner in motors . but that was sprinkled threw the intake. stuff burned real hot.

[@thepoliticalmechanic2691]

The forbidden fruit punch

[@jwalster9412]

I suspect that the water caused the copper sulfate to oxidize faster, and instead of leaving as a gas or dust, it just stuck around in bog chunks. and got burnt to the inside of the combustion chamber

copper sulphate will destroy (almost) any metal it comes into contact with (refer to the reactivity chart of metals) by liberating the copper in the sulphate solution and replacing it with the other metal, eg you might end up with iron sulphate and the liberated raw copper will build up and oxidize.
