How often can you do the carbo clean? If you do the clean (one can) is it ok to do another can right after the first can used
🤘
@@matthewatowe2009
did get the answer?
If nothing else I bet that's the cleanest throttle body on Planet Earth.
Watch my new seafoam video its amazing
Best video yet czcams.com/video/103oyzkNHug/video.html
Yep
Lol
I personally cleaned my throttle body on my truck with Throttle Body Spray. Got front and back of it. But the valves are a different story and I need to do that as well.
Don't wait until its to late! Check your intake valves no special tools needed just a inexpensive borescope amzn.to/2sPE3IY
NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO hey Nate, I’m wondering, where did you insert your horoscope for these videos? Up the throttle body butterfly valve or via a vacuum port in the manifold?
What make and model car do you have?
NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO Oh it was just a question. Not really interested in buying one at this stage.
I was just curious because, in your videos, the visual of the valves look so clear. and I didn’t notice you taking off the manifold. So just wondered where you were able to use the boroscope
Yeah it depends on the car and im not capable of accessing all of the valves but threw a port
Every 15000 miles if you have over 50000 miles with no previous cleaning for the first 3 times then every 30000 miles until you reach 150000 miles because increasing engine wear goes back to 15000 miles
That Crc valve cleaner is impressive. I’ve always used sea foam in the past but now seeing the massive difference the crc cleaner does, it is def a way better option for gdi cars!!
Yeah sea foam is for boat motors man it’s trash
Well I've used the CRC intake valve cleaner on my 2015 Ford focus 1.0 ecoboost and I must admit that it's a great product. There's definitely improvements on performance as well the fuel consumption. Thumbs up for CRC 👍
Once you have used it you'll never go to anything else!! 💪
It’s a good idea to warn everyone not to grab moving parts. However, myself, I always remove my watch and any rings that I occasionally wear. I remove ANYTHING that might get caught in machinery, or that would keep me from jerking my hands out of the engine area, or pull me into it.
Just my thoughts.
Yeah, I tuck my willy too, it might dangle too close to the rad fan...
This is amazing, crazy how many channels say this doesn't work when using it on a bench with a cold cylinder head
This is not working
New video best yet czcams.com/video/103oyzkNHug/video.html
Honestly I could only notice a significant difference with the CRC results. The Seafoam looked the same. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for your input and time
After i looked over it. I did notice a lot less removed deposits on the seafoam vs the CRC. Seems CRC works better in my opinion.
Great watch new seafoam video amazing
The Adventure Mazda he didn’t do the sea foam by the instructions. The sea foam would have worked a lot better if he would have followed the instructions.
Thanks for your support
Let's go ahead and appreciate what this man has done, Smoke or no Smoke. And thank him for saving yall hands from being injured in the engine bay.
LOL
Go Ahead drives me nuts!!!!
Preventative is another question. Doing this often will prevent the baking on. Smooth clean surfaces should be less prone to things sticking on them and additionally less turbulent airflow . Would be interesting to compare the time it takes for the build-up to come back after a treatment.
Instructions say drive for ten minutes after initial heat soak then it will keep cleaning for eight days, also says after can is empty and increasing RPM to 3500 two to three times to let idle for one minute. This sounds nit picky but may actually have an effect on the cleaning process. Thanks for taking the time to video the CRC.👍🤙😄
Looks like CRC took the win.
Note,on Amazon i got STP gdi
Spray. It had the same main ingredient. And it was a few bucks less. My 17 Hundai Sonada Sport 2.4 non-turbo ran better after the treatment. And it took less time thank the CRC going by the instructions (FYI). Good video!
Thanks alot for the info i will check that out
Just used CRC for the first time on my 2012 Genesis sedan. Gonna do another treatment in a month or so.
How did it work out?
I've used 3 different products: STP, CRC, and AC-Delco. Not saying it doesn't work, but I saw no results with the STP compared to the others. And the STP was twice the price, I guess due to the timer it came with.
Some products may be cheaper, but CRC has the highest amount of PEA, the active agent of cleaning the carbon.
I did this exact thing to my 1994 Toyota Tercel and now I race it in Formula 1... I still lose a lot.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Should've bought an Aveo...
Put a TRD sticker on it, that's an extra 100 HP right there.
😭
I've used both of them. About 20k apart with a 51k turbo engine. It's a 2015 VW beetle. 1.8t TSI gen 3 DI. I used the Sea Foam first at about 30k-+. I didn't get the big smoke show either. Heat soaked 15-20 minutes like it says. It says to drive Spiritly for 10-15 minutes. I drove it "Spiritly" lol. Plus about 80-+ highway speed for several miles to get the engine hot enough to burn the residue. When I first got on it, it popped loud and a big puff of smoke came out. They both say safe for O2 sensors. Both of the cleaners through code's and I had to clear them. Both times they never came back. I don't know how they cleaned the turbo or the valves and the pistons. I did notice that the ideal was smother. Fuel mileage didn't change. It ran great before the cleaners. So I can't say that it's improved. I'm fixing to change the plugs. So I'm going to try to look inside.
Ha ha....."the ideal was smother"
Thanks for making the video and taking the time to run an experiment on both!
Thank you and do you have ideas on something we need to test next?
Thank you for the video. CRC recommends do this treatment every 10k miles in GDI engines.
Every 10K??? That's a crazy ask from the average car owner. What about winter-time? Am I supposed to be out when it's -20 outside and do this whole process?
I just won't buy a direct injection engine. Or if I do, I'll but one with port+direct injectors.
I’m sure they do 😂$$$$$
I love CRC Products, but no way I’m doing this every 10k to my Lexus. People over treat this carbon issue, especially in the IS 250. Most never have any major issues from it. People just listen to dumbshit wannabe mechanics on blogs/message boards who think they know better than a Toyota technician. They need to not speak above their pay grade. Ya know, stay in your lane. Too many know it all assholes in 2020. I’ve built many engines, transmissions etc etc but I don’t know it ALL
I really appreciate you all and especially those subscribers of nia nates interactive auto
NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO you went from a handufl of views to a thousand im telling you make an intro and a couple other things youll be up there
on your thumbnail for your videos you should put a question like for example "does this really work" "what happens when i put this in
Nate if possible i would love to see a video on you adding seafoam in 3 different locations, engine oil,gas tank,and in the throttle body. :)
Thanks i love the helpful info
I will i believe this is a great idea
I'm a huge SeaFoam fan. 25/30 years to date. Nice comparison.
"Okay, go ahead an'..." tell me how you cleaned the same engine with CRC and then with SeaFoam and could tell the difference between the two back-to-back treatments? Very confusing.
I performed the test ten thousand miles apart as 2 engines wouldnt be fair under different circumstances however this was as close to a perfect comparison as possible
I didnt make special rpm mileage clips only to show the point of what you need to do it saves time but i think crc and seafoam did well
Mlowery85 😔 I was glad someone else thought the same thing. Sad
The test was separated
Since the video does not state that the tests were done 10k miles apart. A viewer would conclude that CRC cleaned the carbon and Seafoam brought the carbon back...lol
Hello Nate,
Since the intake manifold is at the front of the car and not towards the firewall, I would like to suggest that you take it off and spray the chemicals directly onto the intake valves.
That is what I did to my warm 2.4L ecotec engine. After a 30 minute drive back home, I removed the intake manifold and used Johnsen's Carb/Intake Air Clearner. The results were spectacular. It cleared the P0106 issue that I was having.
Cheers,
H.
I did soak them with seafoam check out the video.
I did take my intake manifold and soaked it. Cotton swab large ones was able to wipe off the gunk.
I just can't get over how clean those screws look holding down the butterfly valve
FYI... the instructions say to spray the CRC either vertically or upside down... NOT sideways. The 1-hour drive should be an aggressive 10-minute drive. I like the video, thanks for taking the time. I wish you showed us how you got the pictures of the valves.
Borescope
It takes me about 10 minutes just to get to the freeway where I can be agressive.
I used combustion chamber cleaner on my recently refurbished 2006 CT’s let sit for 1 hour after spraying with half the can then spraying in the rest waited 1 more hour then went for a highway drive with 1/ 4 tank of fuel with CRC one tank valve cleaner in gas tank . The car has much better response and power now and gas mileage increased to 31 mpg imperial
This was a great video. Thank you Nate for the explanations of the products, your methods, and results. I'm going to be using the CRC treatment this weekend and I really appreciate all your effort to show how it works!
Thanks alot what can we try next
Halfway through the video I noticed the beautiful scenery and temporarily forgot why I was watching this video. (If you have lived among nothing but flat cornfields, cattle yards, and hog confinements for 40 years, you would understand my distraction!). Ironically Kentucky is one of three states I have been considering moving to. Anyway thanks for the video. My Kia Optima just reached 30,000 and you were instrumental in moving a can of CRC from Amazon to my door. Thanks again!
Thank you for your time
Great video!!
My main argument for the results would be in the differing directions. Seafoam results may have been better if those directions were followed exactly as they were. I understand why you changed it though; follows the standards of a scientific process. However, real world applications and differing solutions and such are a real factor.
I have a 2014 Mazda3 skyactiv 2.0 with 100k on it and CRC definitely made a difference. Motor is more responsive and sounds more lively when you put your foot down
I’ve been using seafoam for a while but after looking at this video I think I may give the crc a shot.
Does it help clean EGR valves?
Seafoam comes with a straw. It instructs to position it 6mm from the opening side of the throttle body. And don’t run your engine with the throttle body wide open with no filter. That’s why seafoam also has a clip to keep the engine sealed up
Those straws can pop off & shoot down into the intake. Then you're screwed.
@@Joe_Blothat’s shows how much you know… with the straw you fasten the filter assembly over the draw there is a 0% change you are sucking anything down your intake
thanks for taking the time to do this video. i think i would use them both and do the process every oil change to keep things clean.
Every oil change would be overkill. Once every other oil change would be enough
Every 10k is safer because you have to think about the catalytic converters. CRC and Seafoam is safe for the cats but the smoke is not.
So you "do not want to spray" on mass airflow. Thanks for the videos much appreciated hv a Good Year.
Yes spray passed the maf and the best new year to you also
This is funny
Unless you have 50 to 100 for a new one. Sure
Let's go ahead.... lol
Anyway thanks you for your demonstration.
Any suggestions
Yes, dont quit your day job just yet.
@@Error404v22
🤣 🤣
Thank you for your video. But I think maybe you were running the RPMs a little too high. The reason why I say this is because the back of the valve didn't look like they were cleaned which means you were sucking the air in faster than it was able to get to the back of the valve. Still a very good video.
Hi high should the rpm’s be I saw what you saw but didn’t understand why? Thanks
Amazing video! I used my first treatment of CRC at 10k and it was a huge difference in engine refinement and smooth idle. I use a can of CRC every oil change now, I’m trying to keep my engine running clean and healthy!
Great thanks for Sharing with everyone
He sure made sure to go ahead.
My Tacoma has 325,000 miles, and I'm going to try it too!!
I tried this on my Mazda, also ran about 4-5 oz of Seafoam in the oil for a couple of days before oil change. Seems like the car runs smoother and quieter after changing the oil. Used to have a rough idle, now a lot smoother.
You'r lucky you didn't wipe the bearings
@@dustinclark9596 wipe the bearings??? Running 4-5 oz of sea foam in the oil for a brief time? Lol.
@@Jkur2009 you 4 months late...lol
I think you need to test, 2 different cars.
Definitely good and easy for a DIYer with GDI engine that doesn't want to remove the intake to clean carbon. 👌
Wait...what the hell extra do I have to do from now on?. Wow, I had no clue this was a thing. Thanks for the useful vid Nate!
Your welcome thanks for watching
This is great testing Nate, good post! If i have the good luck draw when i scope mine, I'll be using CRC.
If it's REALLY bad, will be pulling the intake and cleaning the hard way...
Sounds like a great decision thanks for sharing
You can't neglect to fallow instructions to make a test even. Seafoam requires operating temps, a 1,000 rpm idle, a continuous spray for 5 min, and a 10min soak time.
And a second treatment back to back
Great video thank you nate
Seafoam helps greatly but crc is the winner
Let's go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Let's go head. 😂😂
Such things, a momentary event!
Also it gets dirty soon!
Thats great
These both work well , and especially if used regularly, and additionally, I like to run a few ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil through the fuel tank periodically as well as adding some through the crank case for a 100 miles before changing the oil . It really helps to keep the sludge and carbon from forming buildup up .
great video, I was wondering if these products actually work. I've just purchased a GDI vehicle with 25k on it. I will be using the CRC. thanks for the info
Your very welcome thank you for your time
Nate, what I would like to see is an OIL treatment with a volatile cleaning chemical which would clean the backs of the valves when vaporized in a hot crankcase while driving. Either continuously, or when added episodically at intervals for periodic valve cleanings. Wonder if the chemists are working on such a cleaner?
There only working on keeping the oil from vaporizing and the words on the tip of my tounge lol im getting old but it has a rating so you can compare and this could help keep down on the carbon buildup
Me and you are going to go on Shark Tank you can get 20% more of the profit TV they give us you thought of it great idea
Lol
Great video. Best way to clean direct injection motors is a sand blaster with walnut shells and shop vac. Spin the motor until close both valves are closed and go to town.
Yes thanks but what could we try next?
Thanks for the requested video
Your welcome i also had others request this but thank you for all your time
When I worked at Jiffy Lube, when someone bought the fuel system, and throttle body cleaner treatment I would pour plastic bottle of Gumout fuel system cleaner in the gas tank, and use a can of Gumout throttle body spray while the engine was being reved up like on your video. I could see some smoke from the exhaust until about 1/2 the can was gone usually. I could feel the difference in peddle response and acceleration after the fuel system and throttle body cleaner treatment was done on every vehicle I preformed this treatment on!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the NIA community
Hi Nates, FoMoCo engineer here (retired), I am confused - since you have access to your borescope and a a better view, it would be nice for you to state which one you estimate is better - otherwise, from this end (computer screen), I do not see/hear much difference. This has been requested several times by your viewers, thank you. Ciao, L
The both made a difference, but not really as much as I would have liked to see myself. There is still too much restriction in the intake and in particular some were worse than others which is likely to induce differences between cylinders. Depending on the condition I tend to use a range of things from pure water, carby cleaner or solvents to regular degreaser... Its a good video, well done and the comparison is kept consistent, I like that and the effort you've put in. I saw the catch can which will clean up the intake, but its a dirty intake typical of a direct injection.. I would think that using water injection all the time, would yield the best results in this situation as the constant trickle of water going in would clean and keep clean the intakes as well as boost power slightly..
Yes thanks you made alot of great points check out my new seafoam video i remove the cylinder head
I have a diesel VW Polo 1.2 TDI clocked 1lac 35k kms in 11yrs, what is the best and safest method to clean the intake manifold and valves ?
And how to clean EGR?
The CRC continues to work for another 1,000 miles of driving. If you want to do a back to back treatment, CRC tells you to wait until you've put at least 1,000 miles on the car or you're wasting time/money. I would assume Sea Foam will also continue to work for a period after the treatment.
@@RobinIntellyou are correct. CRC continues to clean with successive heat cycles many times after the initial clean. The cleaning and engine performance gets better after a few longer driving intervals.
I got a 2013 5.0 GDI. I'm sure the person who owned it never cleaned it. So I have CRC cleaner and can't wait to use it
Very informative video thank you very much sir!
Thanks for watching and what would you like to see next?
Since you took the time to directly access the valves for your before and after pics, I wonder why you didn't try a 3rd treatment but instead just spraying the CRC directly onto the valves and letting the PEA soak and dissolve more of the carbon. Also, CRC says it's PEA continues to dissolve carbon for up to a week after the initial treatment. Might be good to see an after shot a week after.
Yes i will do so thanks
we gonna drive aggressively... he's on cruise control at 60mph for an hour hahahahahahahhahahahaha
CRC worked for my 2008 I4 Honda Accord.
Yes its proved to be in a class of its own. What about the new gumout direct injection intake valve cleaner have you saw the test i performed in the newest video its one of the only ones to be at a crc level or higher.
I just used the crc two days ago and it worked well.
My cars running smooth again.
I figure for the miles im at ill just keep up on this treatment.
You gonna need A LOT of that fancy cleaner. I would rather walnut blast it and THEN try to keep it clean with the chemical cleaners.
Specially in your case that the intake ports face forward (much easier access to install the blaster).
All in all, thanks for experimenting and recording the results. 👌👍😎
Yeah thanks for your time
Would you like to see if a engine can run on straight isopropyl alcohol live
Problem with your solution is that chemical cleaners get injected DOWNSTREAM of the problem area so no cleaning will occur. Otherwise Redline or Lucas gas additives would work. They DONT work in GDI engines. On GDI engines the only option is physical removal like one of these products.
It sounds like a catch can may be the solution for GDI engines.
Nun Ya The RedLine which has the highest concentration of PEA ( the chemical which cleans carbon) still has a positive effect in a GDI motor. The injectors benefit from a cleaning, and the upper cylinder lube definitely helps to reduce cylinder wear. PEA has been proven to even clean pistons. A small amount of reversion happens in DI motors which in fact does do a small amount of cleaning to the valves. It’s been studied in several white papers.
@@MrFatcat23 when I said "maintain" I meant removing the intake manifold periodically (once a year ?) and spray blast the intake valves, NOT just buy some over the counter fuel injector cleaner, drop it in the tank and call it a solution. CLEARLY IT WON'T WORK that way. 👎💩
A catch can helps extend the valve cleaning intervals but does not eliminate the problem. It comes down to people's particular Priorities I guess.🤷
Also get CRC MAF cleaner in case your engine throws a code after your spray the stuff in the intake.
I think the trick on these is to make sure you spray after the maf sensor
Great video ! Tomorrow I will start the treatment on my gti 👍👏
Thats awesome
Is it possible in gti. ...for turbo engine ...is this OK to do ...
Follow crc recommendations crc intake valve and turbo cleaner
Awesome video, thanks Nate )
Thank you what next?
I can obviously see the benefits of doing this but wouldn't the loose carbon be able to get stuck between the valve and the valve seat causing more issues ?
Long drives once a month and Italian tune UPS will help avoid carbon buildup in GDI cars. I use CRC once a year.
Yes its proved to be in a class of its own. What about the new gumout direct injection intake valve cleaner have you saw the test i performed in the newest video its one of the only ones to be at a crc level or higher.
I have been living by SeaFoam and CRC for a long time. I don't have a GDI car mine is MFI, but still helps wonders for the combustion chambers.
Nate, your videos are great brother, keep 'em coming! Very useful, have saved me $$, love the format of 'just do it and show the results'. For this one, I think CRC wins, no contest. Best solution though imho is to just get rid of any GDI ! Not worth the hassle.
Yeah but there here to stay it would seem
It does seem they're here to stay. Which might mean the hassle of a catch can could be worth it, to prevent carbon from ever depositing on the valves in the first place. Pre-GDI cars will only last us so long (I'm stretching my 2000 Focus as far as it'll go).
Yes but so far my gdi's just keep on adding up the mileage
10:35 "because ive had great sex" 😂
Thank you for this great video , but i want to ask you .
Is there any negative effect to the engine ? Or to the catalytic converter ?
I have used almost every cleaner in the same car with no problems.
NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO Any problems using these cleaners to date?
NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO also which one would you crown the winner out of all the cleaners you tried? I’ve been watching your videos but they all say 1 year old so it’s hard to tell which ones are the newest
I was thinking the same thing, those are sum pretty big chunks of carbon to be cleaning this way and just keeping fingers crossed it all comes out w/ the exhaust! I've also seen other videos similar to this where their cel comes on after cleaning sometime b/c the o2 sensors get all caked up with carbon buildup during this cleaning process! I think I will just spend the extra $ to have the heads pulled & walnut blasted on mine...
I love Lucas stuff the the Lucas Oil Stop Leak transmission fix works great same with the power steering fixed and the oil leak stopped for burning oil used all of them they were great
Good demonstration I am slightly confused as the results from the first product appear more effective than the second product, yet you voted for the second product. Job well done
Very confused...how can you run two different test on the same engine and yet not even give an opinion as to which product worked better...i can't se myself subscribed here.
EXACTLY!!
AMEN!!! HE's not LEGIT!!!!
The test are done 10k miles apart. He said it many times throughout the comments.
Invest in a Catch Can......DO it right
Let me get this straight you want to run a test on different engines under different circumstances???? Why not the same for more accurate results? If i say a product does well some will say I'm promoting the product and if i dont you complain. Doesn't it make sense to show you the results, you know the same thing i see so you can judge for yourself. If you can't see which is best then how can i ?
I've driven my 14' kia 137k so far, and never have performance issues, the secret? Haul ass everyday, crud never gets a chance to build-up.
Yes preventative maintenance also a oil catch can and a additive spray time to time
My car 14 also but wear will make it harder over time
You are correct that helps
New video is the best yet czcams.com/video/103oyzkNHug/video.html
I call bullshit. No Kia can "haul ass". Fake news
Love your showmanship lol
Thanks your appreciated greatly
I used that CRC this past summer on my Scion...man what a difference.
Doesn't your scion have port injection?
@@ProvacativeAcorn Nah...it's an '06 Xb with the 1.5L
I pulled MSDS sheets for both the CRC and GUMOUT carb cleaner. Same ingredients at 1/4 the price. I've been using this method for almost 4 years on 2 GTDI Ford engines. No issues.
That awesome i appreciate you sharing
What gumout product? Do you have a link? I am in dire need of a good cleaner.
This gumout product is better i have proof and its made for it so it doesn't harm sensors example safe for o2 sensor and catalytic converters so check out the proof with this link czcams.com/video/PflbBaqjHfM/video.html i will add another link on where to find
Where you can find gumout click this link amzn.to/2I6JNa1
Sounds like the automotive Steve Irwin
Loved the video! In my humble opinion, I give the edge to CRC.
Thanks for watching what can we try next?
Great vid. Thx
I see it's somewhat cleaner, but there's a lot of carbon left in both cases. Did you notice a difference in performance or the way the engine ran?
CRC does say that you can do successive treatments about 1000 miles apart. Might be for the best.
I appreciate the video, but that was really, really confusing. I think I might understand what you did... but that was a rollercoaster of confusion.
Good to see that at least that products have some effect. My GDI intake valves are even worse than yours. Gonna be interesting 😬
Great test nate thanks I think the reason crc doesn't produce smoke it because it is a solvent. So it will melt all that carbon.
Looking forward to the live isopropyl alcohol test tomorrow nate. be there 1230 pm eastern time if interested
Thanks for sharing
Have you considered adding a catch can in the PCV to help prevent or reduce the carbon buildup in the first place? Need to emphasize NOT to spray the MAF. That stuff will destroy it and they can be costly to replace. (Dealer asks $1600 for the one on my car, though they can be found for $300-$400 elsewhere... Still, I'd rather not have to replace at all.)
Seafoam comes with a special nozzle extension so spray can be done downstream from MAF. Does the CRC too?
Someone disconnected the vacuum hose and spray into it.
I always install a catch can works great
Crc all the way
Yeah
On a gm 3.6 di you can remove the intake in about 15-20 minutes and have direct access to the valves.
If you do this while the engine is running chunks of carbon can be sucked in and scar the cylinder wall
Excellent informative and entertaining videos! The mountains in the background remind me of Pikeville.
CRC must be better since it has PEA. I am not sure if Seafoam has PEA but CRC would be my pick.
Cool i was thinking of you today hadnt heard from you in a bit hope your doing well
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO That's good to hear. I'm just shipped my used oil sample to get analysis. Hopefully in 2 weeks I can have the results to conclude my Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer test.

Question: It would be very helpful to find out how well spray cleaners work in a turbocharged direct injection engine, in which the chemical would have to pass the turbine, intercooler and a good deal of plumbing before getting past the throttle body, where they are supposed to be injected according to manufacturers' instructions.
Anybody have experience doing this in a turbocharged engine, in particular a VW/AUDI 2.0L E888 series motor?
Thanks alot I really appreciate you
I would spend the extra time and money to walnut blast the intake ports and valves. These products do a half donkey job! I learned from this video that those products are pretty much hyped up and a cheap temp fix. To me, they are snake oil!
Thanks for the video showing what these products do. Definately Appreciated!🔥🔥
Thank you yes walnut blasting can be made with 10 dollars so better to do yourself your correct.
Just did my Edge 2.7 Ecoboost. I removed the MAP sensor and sprayed it through the opening, didn't see any other easy way. So far it seems good
Couldn't help but notice the big chunks of carbon that the Seafoam dislodged. Those are gonna be awesome as they work their way through your engine and into your cat.
I made a part 2 to see if it hurts the cat crc vs seafoam
Great results thanks for showing with camera
First it’s drive highway speed for ten minutes, literally seconds later “ like I said drive highway speeds for one hour”. 😂😂
Thanks
Yes atleast ten minutes as the instructions say
I just used the CRC on my 2017 Mazda at 10Kmiles. I'm hoping if I do this every 10K or so, I won't see that kind of buildup. It's almost like Easy Off oven cleaner for the engine. Now...Looks like your engine could use another 2-3 applications and those valves will be like almost new. One thing...I did do an oil change after I did the cleaning. I think it's a good precaution. I also use a super low volatility 100% synthetic oil.
Great thats many helpful tips for people to follow
@Neptali Carrion I'm using Amsoil Signature 100% synthetic. I use the stock weights as recommended per manufacturer. It's especially important in the Mazda as, another issue with their engines is after about 130K miles, the VVT tends to stop working. Usually due to carbon and sludge clogging the tiny oil passages controlling VVT operation. This just doesn't exist with the Amsoil.
Mobil 1 extended performance full synthetic
Yes vvt is greatly affected due to extended drain intervals
Would you like to see if a engine can run on straight isopropyl alcohol live?
Thanks, I believe that CRC did the best job. I wonder if their is a pre soak that could be used like over night before either one of these are used. In the days of naturally asperated carburetors not injected fuel I would dump a small can of valve topping oil down the carb while the engine was running and quickly shut it off. Then put one in the tank. We would never have carbon anywhere in the intake or combustion chamber. Oh we blew a few up street racing and tore them down to see. No carbon any wear. But never knew whether it was the presoak or the use of both.
Awesome video. Straight to the point. New sub. 😊
The critical valve area that needs to be clean is the valve seat area, where the valve seals the cylinder when it is closed. Not just the valve stems. If a piece of carbon jambs between the valve seat in the head and the valve, compression will be lost, resulting in power loss and lower fuel economy. From what I can see from your pictures, that critical area on each of the valves was still carbonated up.
this was only one treatment that should be repeated at every oil change until the carbon is sufficiently cleaned up and as for a piece of carbon getting between the valve and the seat I can see what you mean but as you do this to an already running engine the valves are continuously opening and closing so even if it jammed a small piece of carbon in there it would most likely break free during the cycle or at least be crushed by the spring weight and burnt up in the ignition process and what remains get cooked apart in the exhaust components.
