I use cheap oil on my old, high mileage cars, but I always use a high quality filter, and change the oil & filter in shorter intervals instead. Both cars still run well without leaks or burning. I never allow them to go past their change interval. I occasionally substitute a qt. of seafoam, and run that for 1k mi. with a cheap filter, then back to the high quality filter, and cheap oil

So first I am definitely impressed with the aqua-blaster! Now I want one. But the fact that just cleaning (assuming rings and pistons) the engine was able to make it run that much better reusing the same old "worn-out" parts! Just crazy...

[@5Dale65]

Carbon deposits cause the rings to get stuck a bit, sometimes the oil rings get stuck completely and the engine starts to consume oil like crazy. After cleaning everything up it is possible that even the old worn out rings can seal better. Also they cleaned and probably ground the valves and valve seats, which also helped the engine to seal better.

[@Wizard__J]

To be fair, it’s running “like new”. Obviously better than the condition it was in. Compression was brought back to factory (as if new)

I'm interested in cleaning the inlet manifold and intake ports as oil was rising up into the air filter due to a blocked oil pan vapour hose. I'm concerned about chunks of dirt from the intake affecting the valves or falling into the cylinder. Any tips?

[@mryoung8586]

@simonshurety3870 that was my concern too. After I removed the manifold, I thoroughly vacuumed each port, while I shot compressed air into them. I used PB Blaster and a brass brush to loosen up what I could in the ports around the valves. I've put a few thousand miles on it since. Nothing has blown up yet, but there was a lot of gritty crap. Stick rags in the holes as you reinstall manifold/intake to make sure bugs, dirt, sockets, etc... don't have a chance to fall in.

Oil pressure would have been interesting to see the difference between cleaned and dirty.

They should have tested the engine on the old oil before cleaning, then put in new oil and a new filter on and retest. Then clean the engine and test it with new oil. If they really wanted to dirty things up they could have saved the old oil and retested that last as well, but that would be a shame. This video was decent, but the results really aren't comparable because they didn't change the oil and filter before the cleaning. For all we know, the old oil could have been thinner 5W30 with probably shearing. He did say it was runny like water before the cleaning.

Nice! Every time I have done this to an engine, I have always gotten very good results as well. I've mostly attributed the improvements I've always seen in smoothness, oil consumption, power, etc to cleaning the rings and their grooves, regrinding the valves, and replacing the valve stem seals, but either way, this can definitely be a cost effective way to restore an engine to good (or at least much better) health for cheap. Obviously this won't be completely effective on a broken engine, but even on engines with worn/damaged cylinders, the improvements have always been dramatic and well worth the work and minimal cost in my experience.

[@giggiddy]

Exactly. Thats why people who run a quart or two of Marvel's Mystery Oil through a tired engine get such great results. Cleans the fuel system, removes carbon and stuck rings. Same type of thing. Just think how many engines are junked just because they are dirty. Cheers

[@thatguyalex2835]

Now as cleaning the valves and other components on an engine increases engine lifespan, as said by you, then, we should give Garage54 a test. Have them clean up an old diesel bus or truck engine. Man, buses or trucks themselves are gunky, especially in cold winter climates, so imagine the engine dirt and debris inside the valves from the road salt water kicked up on a winter city road. The guys will spend years cleaning those diesel engines up (somewhat of an exaggeration).

[@shakeval]

i had an old pickup truck motor that smoked real bad, turned out several of the valve seals were broken from age and use, oil kept making it's way down into the cylinders and on start up would obviously then get into the exhaust. after a long time of this there was a lot of build up and outflow pressures skyrocketed as the exit passage became more and more restricted. additionally build up started forming around the valve seats, reducing performance more and more. this looks like a similar but lesser version of the difference a solid deep clean and replacement of seals can make for an engine suddenly able to breath and cycle as intended. great video, was an enjoyable watch.

[@marcuscoster6529]

Keeping the inside of the engine clean is one of the main things that will make it last. That's why changing oil frequently and coolant every 2 or 3 years is important. Also why installing an oil catch can is smart especially for direct injected cars.

[@DJSekuHusky]

I did this with my engine, which was in a similar state when I got the vehicle. I used Diesel and wire brushes to clean the exterior and interior components, then WD-40 to clean the Carbon on the pistons. Just as shiny when I was done, only I painted the valve cover and timing covers, and painted the exhaust manifold as well, all with high temperature paints. Went from not being able to park anywhere without drops of oil pooling under it to being able to park on the whitest concrete driveway and not leave a single spot. Replacing the valve stem seals also stopped the oil burn on cold starts. I can't believe this was the same engine that was struggling just to idle not so long ago. This was an excellent demonstration. If you put in the work, the engine will work better.

Looks like new timing components installed but that's important stuff to change out don't want to get that all wet then reinstall it.

Timing belt is 100% replaced. Likely worn out and this would affect performance but not by much. I trust your science. Perhaps I should do this to my 1998 Toyota Corolla, just need to get one of those machines. I am curious if you even replaced crankshaft bearings. My old truck had gold sparkles in the oil and one of the cylinders was HALF the compression of the other 4. I do not think this treatment would have restored it. Thankfully I got rid of it before it fell apart. I think if you were marketing the cleaning machine then there would be more of a case for lying but that is not the case. Freeing the piston rings can have a HUGE impact on engine performance. I know for a fact my engine needs new rings but too lazy and afraid of fixing it until it is completely broken.

It would be ideal but nonetheless it was running like new

[@elijah333]

I guess the point was to just clean it without using any new parts and see the difference

[@chrischaf]

This got long, so here's a TL;DR version. The results are nothing short of *AMAZING*. I don't think I've ever seen an engine look so good. It's just jaw-droppingly good :O But... I find it hard to think of a scenario where it'd be worth it do do all this (on a high mileage engine) but *not* take the 3 extra steps required to replace the rings, and bearings, and hone the cylinders. Especially since it's only about $60 more for the rings and bearings. And considering how long it took just to get all of the gunk off the rings (which required a lot of extra detailed work done by hand), the shop time required to clean those *consumable parts* (rings/bearings) could potentially cost *more* than actually buying new ones. Plus, it's quite possible that everything required to get the old rings off and back onto the pistons, and to clean them, could decrease whatever life they have left in them. So you do as much *or more* work to do it this way, than you would do to clean it AND replace the rings/bearings (basically to clean AND rebuild), but without being able to put *any* of the trust into the re-used parts, that you could have if the rings/bearings were new. Long version... Yeah. it was great to see the result. But if you are going to do *that much work*, it would be kind of silly to not replace the other "consumable" parts. And they aren't usually much more expensive than the required gasket set. Oh, plus a hone on the cylinders, which very little time/labor. Actually, replacing the piston rings and bearings would take quite a bit less time/labor than cleaning them *this* well. And that's part of the issue with doing this. I mean, *shop/mechanic time* is often the most expensive part of auto repair. For example, my sister's car had a sensor go out that caused the air conditioner to stop working, because the sensor stuck while registering that the core was frozen. The sensor only cost about $16 dollars, but because you had to remove the steering wheel and disassemble the entire dash and everything, it was pretty much an all day job to do it. So it was a $16 part, but a $300+ to $500+ job. So what are you going to do with an engine like this one? You can't *guarantee* it like you would a freshly rebuilt engine, because these rings and bearings have already endured god knows how many miles and how much abuse. Any one of those rings could break tomorrow and, unlike a brand new ring, if the re-used ring breaks tomorrow you can't even be mad about it. It'd be, like, what do you expect? The rings are 25 years old and had over 100,000 miles on them. You can't sell it to a customer as a "rebuilt" engine, because it simply isn't. It's, like, a *washed* engine lol. So, like, do you tell somebody, I washed your engine and replaced the gaskets; that'll be $30 for the gaskets, plus $700 for labor (because it took so long to wash it that well). And, btw, we don't guarantee any of the re-used parts, so if it breaks tomorrow, that's all on your. Also, btw, we *could* have washed AND rebuilt the engine AND guaranteed the engine for 20,000 miles for less than that, because it took so darned long to *fully* clean all the re-used parts, especially the rings which had to mostly have the crud dug out by hand. I mean, it's exceedingly impressive, but there's no way I would do it *for a customer*, because I couldn't guarantee the old parts, which are inside the engine, so it'd require disassembling the engine *again* to replace any of those parts later, in a month, or year, or a week. It's, like, you don't reuse the oil seals even if they weren't leaking, because there's no guarantee they wont *start* leaking next week. So the *only* way I could see it practical to clean and re-use the *consumable* parts of a high mileage engine like this, is if it were something *rare*. Like some 1920's or 30's car or pre-war submarine or tractor engine or something obscure/rare like that, where they haven't made replacement parts for 60 years or whatever. Or where the parts are simply SO expensive, that they actually far exceed the cost of all the time/labor involved in completely taking everything apart and cleaning/reassembling it. Like if you had some weird situation where you had an engine where the rings cost $1500 and the bearings cost $500, but you happened to know a shop with a hydro cleaner thingy and *competent* workers (like people you'd trust to rebuild an engine that had parts that crazy expensive) that were willing to work for, like, $10 an hour. Like, maybe if your ultra-high mileage Lamborghini started smoking badly as you were driving through china. Not the part of china where they do terrible work for cheap. But rather a section where they have skilled craftsmen, who take their job seriously, but still work for *massively less* than the average american auto shop. For reference, I just did a quick check, and it looks like I can get a a basic lada gasket/seal set (pretty much everything but the rings and bearings) for $30. A ring set for $26.72 And a set of bearings for another $30. So it's $30 just for the gaskets that are needed to take it apart and reassemble it. But only about $60 more to *also* get brand new rings and bearings while you have it apart. So $30 with just gaskets/seals, or $90 for the parts for a "rebuild". It's just hard to imagine a scenario where it's worth it to do all the work to take it apart, wash it, grind valves, put it all back together and install it, but *not* go the 3 extra steps to do an actual "rebuild" (assuming cam lobes and cam bearings are within acceptable tolerances). I.e. replace rings/bearings and hone cylinders. I should clarify that I'm talking about high-mileage engines. If it has less than 30k on it, then why not? Also, if I was going to have an engine apart and had one of these hydro thingies? You *know* I'd go that extra step to clean all the parts, cause the results are absolutely *beautiful*! :D :D :D

The aquablasting leaves a more shiny surface than straight after casting from the factory ;)

[@zsoltkohler7096]

Good job! There is the Xado MaxiFlush, you should clean a similar engine to see the increasing in compression. (The Mitsubishi Galant V6 of mine drank the oil, I have cleaned that, and the effect disappeared.) The compression increased somewhat also. I would like to see an episode with that stuff.

[@rossbrumby1957]

You don't know blocked oil rings until you've dismantled an oil guzzling 02 Corolla motor. Every oil ring was stuck in it's groove, flush with the piston, every oil return hole in the piston was blocked. It used almost a litre per 100km of oil. Cleaned it all, new aftermarket rings and now only use full synthetic oil. Perfect now.

[@gstatz9062]

Very good work as usually. Respect. Simple the intake Valve seal lead to less blue oil smoke. Valves are new. You do not mark the rotation position on the old valves😎 Valve sits must be reworked for new valves because the sit get “oval” in time. Rotated old valve or new valve in old sit lead to lower or no compression especially on lead free Engine. Valve seals and blue oil smoke, big issue on 4 Cylinders BMW E21

[@RealWorldCarReviews]

Great video, and an incredible result - it's like a new engine! The cleaning machine is awesome too. People often say that using engine cleaning products will make the engine perform worse because things will be loose, but I guess that is a myth!

[@gabrielmalta1962]

That depends. Taking the whole thing apart for cleaning is one thing, chucking some additives in is another. Keep in mind all the carbon that has been deposited will still be inside the block and movable parts

[@Canthus13]

I can see where cleaning the ring grooves in particular could help with smoking and compression. And new gaskets and clean oil galleys can definitely improve oil pressure to silence noisy lifters.

[@El_Chompo]

You can also clean the inside of an engine pretty well just by changing the oil over and over again, until it comes out clean. If you change the oil then run it for just 20 or 30 minutes or maybe an hour at the most, and change it again, and keep doing that, it will also clean all of the carbon out of the engine. It can help to redline it too to burn off the carbon. And that's a lot easier than taking apart the whole thing. Normal oil has a lot of cleaners and things in it that will clean it out, but the oil can only hold so much dirt and carbon, so you have to do it 5 or 6 times to get it all. Maybe try it this way and compare it to your test you did here to see if it works too.

It's ok that a few parts were replaced. No one will fully disassemble an engine just to clean it. Amazing video

[@tarstarkusz]

2:00 Well, simply taking the engine apart and putting it back together should fix any leaks because there will be new gaskets. But other than that, I don't see it making any more power, any higher compression or running better in any way, other than new gaskets would provide. Honing the cylinders while you have it apart anyway might help a little, especially if the original hatch is gone.

[@madbruv]

well it did have better compression, xD

[@tarstarkusz]

@@madbruv They lapped the valves and replaced the valve seals. Not sure if they honed the cylinders or not. I think the lesson learned is that if you take a mechanically sound engine apart, replace all the gaskets, lap the valves, replace the valve seals and reassemble, you can get the improvements. Cleaning the rings and ring grooves probably helped with the smoking too. BUT, if you had a mechanically worn engine and took it apart and cleaned it, it problaably wouldn't do much. Might even make it worse. Cleaning the intake and exhaust ports probably helped it breathe too. They didn't say if they honed the cylinders (and I don't see why they wouldn't have unless the crosshatch was still there and visible), but if they did, that would help compression as well.

[@irgant]

If there is no oval in the cylinders, then there will be no problems.

[@ripsrt6822]

That was so satisfying. Would've been interesting to see before and after oil pressures.
