In this video I'll talk about how and where carbon buildup can happen on an engine with Direct Fuel Injection (GDI) or an engine with Port Fuel Injection. What are the symptoms of excessive carbon buildup and how you can diagnose and engine with carbon buildup, also how you can prevent carbon buildup and whether or not engine oil can effect this and last but not least how you can treat or remove carbon buildup from an engine.

It's had 1 Injector replaced new rad coolant sensor and therm. I've just replaced oil and filter . No rough idling yet but other night I had lots of flat spots in 2nd then picking up . On getting to b from a. Engine light came on steady . Next day it was off cheers

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.

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.

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.

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.

The other problem with using water to clean an engine not mentioned here is this: blow-by. You will end up with water in your crank case as if you had a blown head gasket, and probably more than you might expect too. I think Project Farm did a video on cleaning with water some time ago which revealed this problem.

Unless you have a heavy worn piston ring it's not a problem. The tiny amount of moister that may enter the crank case will be cooked out in no time. Moister will always work it's way in just do to condensation. The oil when at full running temp will heat up any water and it will evap out

@@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.

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. My fuel trims went back to almost zero, my idle is perfect, and it cut my oil consumption by at least half :-)

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.

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.

Quick question professor.. Can seafoam clog your catalytic converter... Say you bought a car were the person didn't do regular maintenance.. And it might have a lot of carbon build up.. And you put seafoam in it... Will this cause another problem with the exhaust system, or should a person unbolt the exhaust and route it through another pipe, then apply the seafoam..

Good video. What do think about walnut blasting as a gdi carbon mitigation measure? Any concern with Seafoam use impacting catalytic converters?

I took my valve covers off and the amount of sludge depressed me. Is it safe to spray those rocker arms and brush everything? Without disassembly?

So my next car should be duel injection right? Now would you recommend a turbo or NA? I imagine NA would be more reliable.

Nice content! But this ain’t no DIY project, for some ... but not for most. Nice info for understanding engine carbonation.

sea foam actually sells a can with a nozzle to spread into your air duct where your air filter is on the engine it's a long tube and a spray can

I used destilled water on a friend's car. Poured it into the brake booster vacuum hose, squirted with a spray bottle. Worked very well. Gracias por los consejos amigo.

I used to work with Techs in Hawaii back in the 90's who used dry rice granules to bead blast the chambers. Just goose that throttle and trickle some rice thru the carb. No catalytic converter tho lol.

BG makes a good product to clean valves. You can also use oven cleaner if you pull the intake manifold and apply directly. Its not too hard.

Maybe if you have a really old vehicle. Anything 1980s and newer is gonna be a bitch to pull the intake, just to spray some carbon cleaner

thoughts on soaking the pistons - while in the engine- overnight? (vacuuming out the Berrymans before starting). Ive seen some vids on this method.
