"Youre supposed to put distilled water in here... So i put seafoam and marvel mystery oil in" I need that on a t-shirt! I'm dyin!

If you've scraped a pipe for resin you should be able to clean some valves. Lifeschool

Thanks for sharing the different methods! Most DIY'ers will have lots of time to do the cleaning (let soak overnight an use multiple products) to the point that they are happy. I agree though that they do not need to be spotless.

Looks much better!! I'm about to do this on my mazda 6. I bought a harbor freight 50 lb media blaster and some 24 grit fine walnut. Also bought some brushes and B12 Berryman. I have a 20 gallon compressor that should work with it well. Nice work, using the steamer was a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing 👍

Nice video. I ended up picking off the hard stuff with picks; vacuumed out with shop vac; then filled with chemicals that soaked overnight; then agitated using cheap Harbor Freight brushes on a cordless drill; vacuum out; repeat. Looked good as new, and was not messy at all.

Chucking the rod of the shotgun cleaning brush in a drill works a treat. Cleans the star chamber of an AR beautifully.

I used CRC valve cleaner on my 335i. Just let it soak for 10-20 minutes and it cleaned up pretty easily.

Hey naptowntuner! What you were saying in the previous video is that an catch can helps prevents an excessive amount of build up gunk on the valves? Could you elaborate more on that in the next video possibly? Also how often should carbon cleaning be done on these models? Thanks!

I used a *Dremel and wire brush attachments* and it was almost effortless on my 150K mile 2.0T (I'm 99% positive never had a carbon cleaning). It was a mess, though.

awesome dude, you cracked me up too.

Warts n all video. Thanks!

Quick question please reply ur videos kool thumbs up.. seen you turn crank to make valves go up to flush and close them I thought mines were messed up because they all weren’t shut ? Do they shut different with turning crank??

I think I seen you close them one by one then they don’t close at same time when you spin crank right? Was wondering if mines was bent valve or smth since one was bit open

I done this 3 times, best way is $120 media blaster & walnut shells. Imagine if shop did it by hand it will take 5 hours labor just to do it half ass. First time I used walnut blaster it was so satisfying. I did have to use the pick behind the valve. But it was easy. If you are gonna use the walnut blaster please mask the area like a painter. Mask the other ports only work on one at a time. Btw CRC carb cleaner is the best!!!

put that brush on a drill and go to town

Wondering if Brake Cleaners will do better?

Im with ya. Good enough for me lol. Zip tie on the end of a drill worrks good too!

Hey, what was wrong with your engine that you were torture testing? You never updated?

what is the optim granulation for valve clean ?

Does all the valves can close at the same time ? Because it looks like my valve nr 1 and 2 are open and the rest is closed is these normal I hope on a asap answer please bro 🙏

I blasted 3 ports on a 4 cylinder. I used two bottles on 3 intakes. Then on the 4th I started to scrape the carbon off with a pick. As much as i could get. Then i blasted the rest. It was much much quicker than blasting only.

Seems the right way to do this is walnut shells?

Nice

Hot flame but not hot enough to destroy the metal and it will burn off like coke in an oil fired heater. Try it. I use an acetylene with oxygen rig but it will throw a lot of sparks as it burns off.

Use oven cleaner. Always works perfect

No question about it carbon takes time to clean

Will this new carbon neutral oil made from natural gas keep carbon from building up on my valves in my 2.0l tsi motor?

Walnut blasting for the win

#1 turned out the best. Probably due to more time spent. Acetone/brake cleaner is some serious stuff, it eats through plastic.

If you take to to a shop. I expect it clean. That's why DIY is always better

Cosa fai per chiudere le valvole grazie

HOW ABOUT OPEN UP PATREON ACCOUNT SO YOU COULD HIRE A VANNA WHITE TYPE HELPER

Hi, how did you close each the valves before cleaning? Thanks

How did you get the two cylinders to close by hand at 11 minutes and 30 seconds.

I'm looking at water/meth injection as a preventative measure after I go through my next round of cleaning with CRC.

Hey man, you should do a video on, "OK my a4 quattro is just now coming up on 80k miles" What needs to be done to keep this baby from sharing the same fate as the engine in your front yard. My car is a 2012 model a4, it has no problems....yet. but I'd like to hear your input on what I need to be looking for in the not too distant future. Thanks partner. You've helped a ton so far. Keep up the good work.

I wonder how Easy-Off over cleaner would work for this

“I will see if I can get a zoom”… throws camera at valves

Go with the cheap crushed walnut shell and blaster from Harbor Freight....60 bucks for both....Amazon has the tool for the valve port that connects to the shop vac and has a hole for the blaster gun....it's 25 bucks....it makes that job a breeze...1 hr at the most....

Why not use a power drill on the shotgun brushes?

I wanted to see the shot gun cleaner end on the cordless drill

What did u do to close the valves?

How many Miles or KM were on this Engine before it needed a Valve Cleaning?

👍 clean enough, I'd eat off that!

Nice video .. Im planning an intake job and this is a concern for me. .. Maybe a engine cleaning brush to a drill would help a lot ..with a Chemical soaking would speed things up .. I believe CRC has a product especially designed for this task .. also there is a portable dri ice technology coming to market soon ..

Toyota and Ford use combo dfi and port injection in their engines why did so many German manufacturers choose dfi only? What a pita this is! arghh

Someone needs to make a long brush attachment that fits to an airgun. That would be perfect for this job.

the valve clenaning jakuzzi LoL

@ my problem ? new BOSCH injectors new oil separator new NGK spark plugs new BERU coils new WESTGATE new rear main SEAL new MAP sensor *replaced twice new engine mounts MEYLE new timing chains only error code on VCDC i have is MAP sensor signal implausible G31 and nothing else, what is it ? why engine shakes when is cold start ? also shakes when its warmed up CARB DEPOSIT ?

run some vinegar through the steamer, it will be fine.

After all that an oil catch can would help.

OMG!!! you have a proflex mask? you playing paintball?

Doesn’t need to be shiny clean as long as not gummy and caked up, no more difference part from physiological effect

The valve seats do not get cleaned.. Thats the sealing part.. Cleaning the crown may improve the flow but does nothing to the seats when valves are closed and fully seated.

Hi Naptowntuner .I'm a huge fan, your the best there is keep giving us videos. Ok so now my issue, I have a 2010 tfsi cabriolet and I did a carbon cleaning and whilst doing my scraping I ended up rotating some if not all the valves. Afterwards runs fantastic except soon as I give it throttle or it's under load it pretty much has a stroke and misfires engine light flashes but if I let off and just give the big easy on the pedal it will be fine . So , A- do I need a valve adjustment, B-did I bone something else up , and C- if there is a valve adjustment can you do a video. That's all thanks again Love Murray 😉

No matter how much i try to avoid it. always end up with carbon spots all over my face doing this job.

Thumbs up for the mask!

Put the gun cleaning kit on a drill...

The worst engines .

Not a gun guy looks like

Cut plastic zip ties on drill

definitely not a good idea to go filling up those ports with various oils, solvents or water-based cleaners. Even with the valves closed, a fair amount of chemical will leak down past the valves and you run the very real risk of hydrolocking the motor on first engine start - kaboom!!! I think walnut blasting is really the only satisfactory solution for this problem

Novice:... How do we need to clean this..? Answer:...Brake Cleaner....

The seats are what need cleaning, and you can’t get to those.

Ma usa tutte e 2 le mani forse è meglio

soak them with carb cleaner for a few hours and then scrub

For anyone looking to replace their aluminum intake lower and upper intake gaskets I have a video for that and a video to clean the intake valves on a flex fuel intake for 35 bucks

Better off putting those on a drill. Cut the handle off and drill baby!!$

Nooo

I think wd-40 would do a really good job getting that buildup off
