Speaking of using water to de-carbon your engine, I think it would be worthwhile investigating. When I was a young bloke back in the late 60's early 70's there were a heap of aftermarket water injection kits on the market (of course everything was carbies back in those days). It was supposed to increase power but as with all these magic things the results were subjective. However, it is common knowledge that if you have a blown head gasket that's letting coolant (water based liquid) into the combustion chamber, when you take the head off it's easy to identify the cylinder that is affected because it is often quite clean compared to the rest especially if it had been leaking for a while. The water injection systems on the market 'back in the day' were simple and used a water container attached to an adjustable valve that fed a small venturi. The amount of water could be adjusted, and there was never enough to create a compression lock. So if you have a car that has serious carbon buildup it may be worth looking into.

you can. they sell a mister fan with small tank (.25L). attach to air intake hose and set the fan on and let it do it's thing. Small doses come out and is continuous. I saw someone refill and do it 3 times while car runs. It won't do much for carbon buildup deposits.

@@Dudeman9339 I guess you are not familiar with manifold Injection cleaning. I've performed this service for over 20 years with no issues. You can either use the Seafoam spray with the long straw via the Throttle body or use the regular Seafoam bottle via a vacuum hose. Find a vacuum hose that goes to the manifold. Start engine and hold RPM near 2.5K with your helper. Now with the disconnected vacuum hose, S-L-O-W-L-Y pour the Seafoam. If you stalled the engine, you poured too fast. Re start the engine if you stalled it before adding any more. During this 10 or so minute process, you will see plenty of white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Use the entire can and let the car idle for a minute or two and shut off for 15 minutes. Start car and let run for 5 minutes to burn any possible residual solvent. Now take the car for a safe "Spirited Drive" to again burn any more residual solvent. Don't be surprised of possible engine coughing during the drive. There are plenty examples on YT showing this entire process.

I’ve always had success with Marvel Mystery Oil. I dump two bottles into my gas tank; it provides additional lubrication for the fuel pump, cleans the fuel injections, and it cleans up the pistons and combustion chambers. If I want a deep cleaning; I warm up the engine first and spray water mist directly into the intake. The steam from the water will also clean up the pistons; but you have to be careful not to dump too much water because it will hydrolock your engine and blow it up.

A piston soak is another great way to remove carbon, but again you have to be careful to get all the solvent and crud out before you fire up the engine to avoid hydro-lock (RIP engine) I just did a soak on my Matrix and literally removed a handful of carbon.

Guys, pouring a little water down the carb slowly worked a treat back in the day, but to be fair, my engine was a 425 cu in V8 which wasn't likely to hydro-lock short of dumping in the whole can at once. I've got to think if you have a much smaller engine your margin for error is a whole lot slimmer. Plus with a cast iron intake manifold, I've got to think that a lot of the water was turned to steam before it got into the cylinders. I'm thinking with a plastic intake manifold you aren't making much steam before you hit the intake valves.

Yep, I use the CRC cleaner as part of every oil change (about every 8000 miles) in my 2017 Honda Fit with the 1.5L direct injection engine. I also had a '91 chev cavalier that would regularly develop a knock due to combustion chamber buildup so I would drip about a pint of water into the intake of the running engine to create steam to blow out the carbon. Knock disappeared for about 3000-4000 miles until carbon built up again and I would repeat the process.

It cleans ,polishes and fills the micro pores of the metal surface and repairs the surface inside of engine. No more new carbon deposits. More power more mileage and long long engine life extended to hundreds of thousands of miles. Less friction heat noise vibration harshness wear and tear and low emissions as well . Immediate results. Simple to use and cost very reasonable. I have used it on my Nissan Altima 2004 and it is at 3,85,000 kilometers and running like brand new. Never did any de carbonara used any such chemicals.

A bottle of Techron Concentrate will be safer and give you better results. Just dump it in your tank at the right dosage and drive it normally. There are tons of good solid data sets on this. I used to do that testing. It will also clean your intake valves and ports and injectors. Dirty intake valves can cost you 5% on peak power, Techron Concentrate can restore it. Just dump it in your tank and give it a couple of weeks to work gently and steadily. It's good stuff. One bottle should be good enough, but if there are any questions, just repeat and put in another bottle.

Carbon in the intake is not caused by oil blowby around the piston rings. Blowby happens mostly in the other direction, fluids move from high pressure to low. Intake valve is closed during compression so blowby oil can't get up into the intake plenum and behind the valves. When intake valve is open, air is coming into the cylinder, so there's no way blowby can get into intake against the wind of intake air. Carbon deposits are actually caused by the PCV gases which are full of atomized oil from the crankcase which is full of oil, and crankshaft spinning to mix the oil into an oil fog. Crankcase pressure from piston ring blowby (in the other direction) combined with vacuum from the intake sucks the oil fog from crankcase into the intake via PCV valve and pipe. Catch-cans installed in the hose between PCV and intake will filter out most of the oil droplets and slow the accumulation of carbon on intake valves. Changing the oil regularly and using synthetic oil with higher burning temperature and less oil smoke in the crankcase slows the accumulation of carbon deposits in the intake.

Any direct injection engine should have an oil separating catch can inline for the vent. It traps water, fuel, and oil from being vacuumed. Maybe not all of it but enough of it that the valves stay cleaner longer. Even with port injection the oil separator helps keep the throttle body cleaner longer.

What should be noted is, this is most important when running lower octane fuel.

Hey man, I just bought a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with 107k miles and 6,400 idle hours. The car runs and drives great. It idles a teeny bit rough in park or neutral. It doesn't leak/burn any fluids. The only issues I've had was replacing the thermostat which was cheap and easy. Unlike most used cop cars this car's paint is still shines like new with a few expected chips and scratches. I paid nearly $5,000 for this car. Do you think I got screwed?

It's my understanding that the oil with API SERVICE "SN PLUS" is the oil designed to fight carbon build up from direct injection.
@scottkraus889
@scottkraus889 4 жыл бұрын
SN+ was a lower level of calcium as an additive because it was determined to be a large part of the LSPI (low speed pre ignition) problem that was breaking pistons, rings and connecting rods. It has more to do with octane variances than cleaning.. It was very short lived as API SP is already available and superseding it with ILSAC GF6A and ILSAC GF6B.

You didn't mention an oil catch can. I have a Lincoln MKS Eco-boost AWD sedan. The 1st thing I did was to install a oil catch can on the car. Any GDI engine should have a oil catch can installed it filters all the gunk from blow bye from returning to the engine through the PCV valve to help reduce carbon build up. You don't need a expensive one you can find lesser expensive on eBay.

In a DGI engine wouldn't it make sense to allow the PCV to vent into the engine compartment instead of allowing it to recirculate back into the intake manifold? Also a oil catch can may help prevent carbon build up.
