[@CreeperOnYourHouse]

The coolant sprayed into WW2 engines was a water-methanol mix, and it worked in 3 ways: 1. Cooled intake air, colder air-fuel mixture in the chamber, less knock. Less knock meant you could run more boost for more power. 2. This colder charge, aside from aside from allowing more boost, allowed more dense air within the boost. 3. The methanol within the water acted as an octane booster, and water acted to inhibit combustion to reduce detonation. Thus, more boost. (or worse fuel)

To check for carbon buildup on a GDI, you should pull the throttle body and check the intake valves and ports. The heat of combustion will help keep the pistons clean. Due to the airflow through the ports, there will be much more carbon there. I've seen some truly horrendous carbon deposits on valve stems and ports. The plugs and piston crowns looked fine. GDI engines suck, unless you have secondary injectors in the ports. Good for him mentioning that.

[@hkeithseawright2012]

Scotty, I don't think you really described the inspection accurately for direct injection engines. Pulling the plug and looking through a borescope will not show you the carbon on the intake side of the valves/head, rather it shows your combustion chamber and your piston. You would have to scope through the intake manifold or remove it to see the carbon on the intake valve side. Did I miss something?

Thank you for pointing that out. You can use the scope by removing the intake temp sensor and scoping through the port (depending on its location. This goes through the intake manifold and allows you to view the valves.

How does checking the inside of the combustion chamber have anything to do with the carbon buildup on the intake valves? There won't be any significant carbon buildup in the combustion chamber unless something is broken like the injector for example. The problematic carbon buildup in direct injection engines is outside of the combustion chamber right in the intake and on the intake-side of valves and driving in any specific way or speed won't clean it up. You won't see it by looking into the combustion chamber through the spark plug socket.

Nice borescope view but it really doesn't show the real GDI problems which is carbon build up on the intake valves.

[@svenschwingel8632]

It is true that intake valves build up carbon fastest, especially since they not only take in the sludge from the PCV, but also can suck oil into the manifold through the valve shaft gaskets. But: a lot of sludge will also make it into the combustion chamber and will be deposited on the pistons. I have hardly seen any GDI engine that had clogged intake valves and no deposits on the piston. If you see these, odds are that your valves look even worse. Plus, it is really easy to get into the combustion chamber as opposed to unmount the entire intake manifold. Some shops also use better borescopes that have adjustable viewing angles so you can actually get a glimpse of the intake valves.

[@martymcgrogan]

Scotty, you actually have to borescope through the intake manifold to see the back of the intake valves where the carbon causes most of the trouble. If you got lucky and the intake valves were maximally open, only then would you see this through the spark plug holes. Right?

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

correct.

[@donsmith9478]

My '69 Ford 302 V-8 van had a periodic problem with carbon buildup on the valves. I removed the intake manifold and manually cleaned carbon a couple times in the '70s. It ran better afterwards, but it still could not get more than 14 mpg.

What I am seeing with a lot of this new automotive technology, is that it is great for about the length of time of the warranty period. If you plan to keep the car much longer, the thing will become a money pit. In my experience, these newer cars are not holding up as well as ones from the late 90's to about 2008. Where I see Honda Civics and Accords from the 90's to about 2004 running happily along with 200K miles or more on them, I know people with the newer Honda and Toyota cars that are having major engine and transmission issues with as little as 30K miles. And the electronics seem to now have continuous issues. This has just been my personal observations in Florida.

My understanding of the water/methanol injection used in WW2 fighters was that it came from a separate tank and was injected in the intake manifold to cool the intake charge as well as the piston crowns and combustion chambers which prevented detonation when the pilot selected overboost aka war emergency power. It's basically the same system GM used on the 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire turbo.

If you do have carbon and then clean it.. Does it clog the Catalytic converter?

It can depending on how much you have. If GDI engine, always best to keep maintenance and use CRC valve cleaners at a young mileage so chunks don't come off.

[@l3arrett82]

it did on my 97 dakota and 2001 jeep cherokee classic, but both of those are really high in mileage. the dakota has 318k the jeep has 257k. my guess is if you catch it early before there is a tremendous amount of carbon it will wash out as a liquid and be fine. i used a product called B12 carb and throttle body cleaner, it worked very well at cleaning and made the throttle body on the dakota look brand new.

[@RainDancer001]

Cleaning the throttle intake valves on my 02 VW Jetta helped a lot. I had my local shop do the service and they re-home the air intake valve. Before I had what seemed like transmission shifting issues like cold start it would jump into 2nd gear and after long trips it had rough shifting. After the intake valve cleaning this got fixed. The cost is way cheaper than a transmission. This didn't improve the MPG but overall performance improved with normal shifting.

[@jorgenascimento9710]

I have installed so many of those things in GDI cars. They are cheap and work very well. I always drill a hole on the bottom and install a cheap valve so the user can drain then easier. They can be bought with a drain valve on them but they are expensive that way. I just buy cheap ones and put a small valve on the bottom.

Some auto makers have system built in the valve cover that works like a catch can. Prevents oil from being sucked into the intake manifold.

The P47 Thunderbolt that was shown at 5:35 did not inject engine coolant into the intake. The R2800 radial engine in the P47 was air cooled so it didn't have a liquid cooling system. They did have a water methanol injection system used on the P47 which is what hes referring to. Being that the engine was turbocharged and supercharged, the intake charge going into the engine would get hot. The system was used to reduce the intake air charge and provide more power on as needed basis. It wasn't used constantly because the tank was only 30 gallons, 15 on the earlier versions of the P47.
