Best Intake Valve cleaner! WATER
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 авг 2021
- DO NOT USE This intake valve cleaner for carbon buildup? CRC intake valve & turbo cleaner or Liqui moly valve clean are just a few of the cleaners that are among the best. However if you can use water to decarbonize your engine then maybe the other ways of intake cleaning a Gdi or direct injection engine are a waste of money. lets find out can water clean carbon deposits and valve gunk. Not to forget Seafoam spray plus wynns intake valve cleaner and mannol intake valve cleaner. what about gumout or Lucas GDI Direct injection engine cleaner. Royal purple max blast cleaner.
at 100 intake blast cleaner. Bg intake valve cleaner works or does brake cleaner work?

If you've ever disassemble a engine that has leaked coolant into combustion chamber due to bad head gasket you will see engine is super clean
In the early 1980's my dad had a 10 year old Cadillac with noisy valves. I watched a mechanic mix water and transmission fluid in a cup, about 3 ounces of each. He slowly poured it down the carburatuer throat while revving the engine. It sounded awful, and smoked like crazy during treatment, but was quiet afterwards.
I was told something similar years ago but instead of the mixture you are talking about I was told plan ice cold water.
Back in the day, even before unleaded gas we would use water and mist it down the carburetor. It always worked to knock off carbon and ash . I'm glad to see it still does. Great video 👍🏼
Some of these have a lubricant in them...
steam cleaning
Looks like it's done a great job , maybe another go or 2 and they would be very clean ,I'm impressed good video buddy
I can remember years ago a guy I used to work with telling me about how they used to pour ice cold water into carburetors to remove any carbon build up. I remember him saying how you could see chunks of carbon coming out the exhaust. He said you have to pour it slowly so not to stall the engine. I never tried this myself but after seeing this video I don't doubt it worked and this video reminded me of when he told me about it. These new Direct Injection engines are going to be a problem for now on.
One thing to consider is that if you do any cleaning of a modern car engine that leads to 'chunks of carbon' you will probably clog your catalytic converter.
This video was so good, Nate, I almost didn't miss the dramatic music! Good job brother! :-)
I have something great for us to try and that means a great deal. stp professional series intake valve cleaner.
I meant your comment is very important to me. Im not a man of many words lol.
As I have seen methanol/water "injectors" being sold as a pricey solution (as one drives) to this problem what do you think would happen if one was to use a 50/50 water/methanol mix in that misting/fan unit? The methanol obviously would act as a solvent to assist the water (steam) in cleaning?
also you can spray through vacuum hose of the manifold without take off the filter assembly then grap both the hose & the sprayer tube while spraying so no dust go in there. awesome video
Very good video Nathan. I was very impressed with this one.
Hey there im happy you enjoyed and with all seriousness thanks it means everything to me.
Looked like it worked pretty well. I wonder if doing it regularly like before every oil change would be often enough to keep it clean.
Water isn't going to hurt anything unless you pour to much and hydro lock the engine! One could probably do it everyday.
Think about when it rains, your engine is sucking up plenty of moisture. Have you ever heard of anyone ruining their engine driving it in the rain? Some of those cleaners will ruin your Cat if used to often. In fact thinking about it The WW2 fighter planes had water injection to gain more power for short periods of time. Water isn't going to hurt a thing!
I think it does back up the HHO engine carbon cleaning service run by lots of different businesses in the UK and Europe. Solvent goes in first, then HHO followed up by a fuel system cleaner then ride on the motorway for 20 minutes. It did wonders to my 2008 Audi TT 2.0 petrol engine. Now looking at doing it to my 2017 HYUNDAI Diesel SUV.
What if you added a mix of distilled water with some methanol in the spray bottle? Would the methanol affect the sensors near the throttle body?
Wow it does clean the valves.
What about steam? There are hand held steam cleaners around $30 today that even include different length hoses, and various tips to control how much steam you apply. Liqu Moly seems to work pretty good, but as with all cleaners letting it soak first (on closed valves then vacuuming out before starting engine) helps the most. And so does using Zip ties with cordless drill.
Glad I found this. Your awesome Nate. My worry is could this hydro lock the motor?
You need to feed it more water than it can fit in a cylinder to hydro lock it and he's not even close with that fan
Yanmar Marine manual says to run 50cc of water with a little dish wash soap into the turbo intake at 2500rpm. Repeat every 100 hours.
Sooooo… theoretically! You could get a cheap Vicks $15 humidifier and let the intake draw in the water vapor. How much is toooo much? Will the engine bog down or would it simply vapor lock and it’s dead?
You will notice the rpm drop if there is too much water at once. Engine should always be up to temp when doing such procedures
This is just water? Looks like it worked great. Is it possible that a water and alcohol mix could be more effective?
Videos on the best seals like K-seal please. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😃
What if you tried lacquer thinner?
What dou you think HHO ?
Dude sounds like the guy from Tokyo Drift. Must be from same southern state.
Does this go after the air filter and after the maf ??or does this go the egr side of the engine ???
Yes. NEVER put it before the MAF as any type of chemical can damage it. Don't even do it if you're just using water.
berryman combustion chamber cleaner?
I'm worried about what that buildup going into the catalyst not completely burnt! It would be like making your car burn oil if think!
My question is when intake valves actually do get cleaned where does all these carbon deposits go ? I would think it will to exhaust then clogs catalytic converter? Anyone please input..thnx !
yes that's what i thought too, anyone care to explain where do carbon deposit go ?
It goes out the exhaust. Small amounts of carbon go through the cat all the time. It won't poison the cat like oil or fuel will over a long period of time.
The deposits also go through the turbocharger if you have one, and a big enough chunk of carbon is going to do some damage.
@@mjhammer8121 how when its not engaged?
Should you change the engine oil immediately afterwards? Should you add a catalytic converter cleaner to the gas afterwards in case carbon clogged the cat?
I too would like to know this
No need to change oil. Unsure on the cat without further testing. Even still it may eventually burn off the cat
You probably won't need to change the oil. But you probably will need to take it on the highway. For around 40 minutes at a steady speed to burn off any water.
I believe what happens is, the water is flashed off to steam as its being superheated thus cleaning off the carbon. (using my power plant knowledge)
Almost 15 years as a boilermaker
@@jimskatr103 20 years in a power plant for me.
Wow. Thanks for your insight Capt. Obvious
That worked really well. I just cleaned mine for the first time after 250k miles. I used carb cleaner and pulled everything apart, and cleaned it with brushes and a pick. I didn't want to run it through the engine, so I used a shop vac with a small tube to suck everything out. Took about 3 hrs. I think if you keep up on it, you could get away with running it through the engine.
Maybe a bit stronger mist and longer or multiple times. Looked like it was working good to me and it makes sense
Hey why not windshield washer fluid that's 30% methanol!
Where did you get that fan with the vapor.?
I added a catch can to my PCV valve, hopefully solve the carbon buildup on the intake valves!
Watch it does not create pressure build up in the crank case ...blow the main seal between trans and engine ...look for tiny oil leaks ..tiny ones at first .
@@patrickgagnon9662how? You aren’t introducing a restriction.
yes you are , the jury is in ...go catch up .@@bkynaston
@@patrickgagnon9662diesel engines do that, not gasoline engines
@@bluefordpickup GDI does it also .
do water with some dawn soap, used that to clean hot grill at mcds 30 years ago. cooked off all the burned on grease
2:33 Nice audio work.
Thanks for sharing your experience... But now we need to know which one is the best solution...🤔🌷🤔🆒🤔🌷🤔
I have videos showing different advantages of each. I don't want anyone to think im trying to promote a particular brand.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO that's fine, but that approach isn't exactly helpful either. Most of us don't have hours to watch all your videos, Sir.
Does this work to clean the pistons too?
Yes
Wonder how long ago did he use another cleaner on this vehicle? I know CRC says it’ll continue to clean for another 1,000 miles or so.
I want to know how you got those images of the intake and valves with your borescope without removing the intake manifold.
Removing the spark plugs duh
@@S4_QUATTROPOWER His images are showing the back side of the intake valve from the intake side. Not possible to get that view from through the spark plug hole "Duh!"
@@kkuenzel56 I take that back then you are correct, could it be he's faking the results 🤔
He goes thought the air intake . He has shown on other video when he went trough the butterfly.
@@davidfps18 That I would like to see.
One thing that might also help is, when heavy raining. Floor it for 10-15seconds. Works same way.
Looks like it works well enough to justify not spending money on cleaners. This trick has been used for a long time to help clean carbon deposits off of pistons and valves.
It can be beneficial especially if the carbon buildup isn't hardened or one has performed regular maintenance cleaning.
Most videos demonstrate on non turbo cars which is so easy. It's a big problem with turbo cars. Any easier way for them?
Run mine in thru the pcv hose on turbo tucson.
Why do you think it's a big problem on turbo cars?
This has been the best way been doing this for last 30 years its cheap and works just as good as any cleaner alot of people feel they need to buy a fancy bottle from the store that's just capitalism at work buy buy buy
I'm not understanding one thing here....how on earth did to get that camera fed into the engine to take a picture of the valves on the stem side?
Removed manifold
Wis it good for our cat
What’s the impact on the maf sensor
you remove it before spraying, MAF sensor is next to air filter
you didn't show where to attach the borschope to see the valves. but great video
@@thekarmalife2693
That’s exactly what I was wondering myself, running the camera through the throttle body’s seems almost impossible to reach the valves!
@@michelrobi1288 he takes off the intake manifold lol He just doesn’t show it
@@michaelalfonso9045 pretty sure he can just pull one of the vacuum lines and fish it through.
Remove the spark plugs. You'll have to manipulate the boroscope in order to see the valves.
I should have added that the scope goes in through the spark plug hole!
Ok, but what if you used seafoam in that thing?
Water will damage Map/MAF sensor which i didn't see you remove
Can I use gdi additive at every fill up?
yes you can, is is easier for us to add aditive in fuel then disasable anything :D
So here what I think first it looks to me it worked and needed few more runs. Second GDI cars in humid climate might not need cleaner as the humidity cleans it if we take the water mist test.. thoughts?
I think moisture may not be enough, it seems like need actual water drops in the mist.
Yeah Nathan.. it looked to me like it needed a few more goes.. perhaps once a week for about a month. Thank you Nathan.. take care.
Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. It's something how a comment can make someones day better..
I just add some acetone to the water.
Where did you get the fan??
It's actually very useful and i purchased it for another reason. amzn.to/3CGzIdP
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO You will sell a lot of these.
Why not just install a tea kettle into the engine with a line welded to the intake? When the vales need cleaning, just refill the kettle and drive until the kettle's empty.
I agree. OEM's could easily install a port or a periodic injection system to clean them. But then again, they would lose warranty work doing upper rebuilds. 🙄
Anybody think this would be ok to do with a turbocharged application?
Looks like it cleaned the valve's
I was very impressed
Anyone know if you could do this on a turbo engine? And if yes, where in the intake should you spray the water in?
Brake booster line
On the VW/Audi 2.0 Turbo engines I have seen folks use the Intake Air Sensor port and 1/4" fuel line to spray in Seafoam and othe valve cleaners. Really simlle to do.
water in air intake or b12 tool in fuel tank and aerosol is all you need
Fuel treatment won't do a thing for cleaning topside of valves in a GDi. That is the main problem with GDi systems.
@@espedale i see then distalled or b12 in the air intake
I would worry about the water harming the air-fuel ratio sensor.
You would want to do this with the MAF removed or somewhere in the intake tube between the engine and the MAF.
O2 sensor? nah.
@@1dariansdad MAF isn't for A/F ratio. Only how much air is coming in. A/F ratio sensor is the O2 sensor.
@@weskirkland5850 It's ok that you're only half right.
This is why isopropyl alcohol is a common additive in these cleaners
Where's Redline?
WW2 fighter aircraft used water injection to reduce pinging at high RPM called "emergency power", to basically over-rev engines without risk of preignition. As far as cleaning goes, if you had ever replaced a head gasket you already know it works, since the chamber that had the water intrusion, is the only clean piston in the engine.
Look like those carbon maybe created by mostly air and water in GDI systems. Not like old port injection. So cheap solvent such as water can do the job. I need to get that fan. 👍 thank you
What about Berrymans?
Crc gdi intake valve cleaner works well
Stp professional, every 10-15k for gdi and Lucas oil upper cylinder gas treatment every other tank. Royal purple in the oil.
Liqui moly throttle body and intake valve cleaner , the best of the best . German known for superior chemical engineering
check out The Musing Greg video, best test to date of liquid moly!
link?@@north4961
Similar to HHO splitter installed on an engine. Water cleans the best IMHO
So have the manifold removed and have the entire thing cleaned with a competent mechanic.
Then every 10,000 miles do this before an oil change. Mix tiny residue (much less than a drop)with dish wash liquid into the water. And gently let it run as in video.
I’m so glad I found this knowledge. I will get my cars intake cleaned at the next service so it’s a fresh start. Then add a small service port to the air filter box so I can mist in water at every service.
Water Works.
You can adapt a simple manifold just like that fan did. Use a wiper washer motor. Not !!! All the time....
Aircraft have been using water injection for 80+ years.
berryman b12 chemtool
I'll stick with the STP Pro series Intake Valve Cleaner. That stuff WORKS.
The one with the timer? I used it and it did nothing. I used the AC-Delco spray and it quieted everything down.
You don't have STP professional intake cleaner on there. That stuff will I'll do them all 🥴
I have tried almost every cleaner on the market but they keep coming out with new ones but im glad. I have used other stp direct injection cleaners with good success. However this is exactly what the NIA community was made for to have all of us share our honest experiences and any suggestions to try. I stopped as soon as I read your comment so I could order this product that some how I was unaware of and now I came back to comment so you would know It will be tested asap.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO nates the real MVP. Can't wait for this video
You are to kind, its really appreciated.
Never put to much water in the system.. u can blow the motor.
hydrolock
What about the injector tip. That seems to get carbon buildup, too. I think the carbon buildup is causing problems with the spray pattern resulting in misfires.
Liqui moly fuel system cleaner seems to be the best for the job.
That's when a standard "choose your own label" fuel additive will work.
Amazon link leads to No Found.
The only way , take the manifold off and walnut blast for $900.00.
Regular old carb n choke cleaner works better than anything you can possibly use-for this method . Didn’t see you use that in any videos yet, but you should try it in your next experiment. It works better than anything else BY FAR!Trust me, make a video on it if you wanna to see something new. It’s hands-down the best thing you can do for best cleaning besides doing the walnut blasting
,or doing any type of deep clean method with valve cover off. Try it-and let “You Tubers”judge the result’s. RUclips world will be amazed!!!
Old school water injection work great and cheap.but today auto tech say chemical are better.bad for environment.upto you
I can’t believe you mixed water with the gas, you should’ve used lacquer thinner instead
3800 V6 (Series I). Was told by a 30+ year Napa Store owner take TWO Napa 660 Injector Cleaners and run one take of Prem. Do it for road trip. After that one tank then add ONE of the 660 to another PREM tank. She purred like a kitten. :)
This has nothing to do with valves.
That engine is so dirty! May be time to wash it.
