Is decarbonizing my valves as serious as the Ford guy makes it sound?

[momo]

That sounds pretty hot.. he wants to decarbonize your valves.. can i decarbonize your valves too. Just kidding


It would just take carburetor cleaner and a tooth brush

The Marvel Mystery product has been around as long as I can remember and lots of people have sworn by it. It's mostly just mineral oil and solvent.

I've used Seafoam and HEET on a new tank of gas.

Seems to have worked for me.

I still say muffler bearings.

[Guest123018-4]

Only chrome muffler bearings.
If you want them to last.

I'm here my love.

Last week I was too busy trying to save a few bucks at ticketmaster to give this thread (and you ) the time it deserves.

I might not always post, but I am always watching ...

That is creepy

Buy about three 20oz cans of Gumout Regane Multi-System Tune-Up.
Use one can each time you fill up the tank.

Best fuel system cleaner on the market.

beedub....please don't be pouring any treatments in your gas tank.

if you must, i can give you a procedure for it. but it's mostly a waste and can do more harm than good.

Slick 50?
Just kidding Brooke, i know nothing about cars, so don't take my advice...

[Guest123018-4]

I used Slick 50 in the past and it worked well in older engines. Not sure how it would do in todyas engines.
You could see an immediate improvement, better gas mileage, and never had an engine issue related to wear.
I believe they still make it. Have over 225K on one of my vehicles and the engine tests like it is brand new. No valve guide smoke and very little oil consumption.

If anybody tells you theirs doesn't use oil their engine is not running.

Don't know what kind of car you have, but if you have fuel injectors the need cleaned per owners manual...The process will clean-up and residue on the valves.

[TryWeakly]

I still say check the muffler bearings....

Recently hit 95k on my coyote. Had it since new and never did that de carbonization crap. Always used 93 octane and redline every once in awhile.
