Didn't post it on the other forum I'm a part of because maturity levels seem to be a lot lower there but I'm not sure this place is any better unfortunately  If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all...
Again, some say it works and others say it doesn't meaning that there is some disagreement and one must make their own "opinion". All I'm asking is if someone knows for sure if it does or does not work and what the best method is for cleaning carbon out. |
I don't have to remind you that you are using the internet...right?
I have my opinion and they have theirs. Like I said my opinion was given to try to save you time and money. It really depends on the problem with your engine whether or not an engine cleaner would work. If for instance carbon build up is preventing your valves from sealing then yes a treatment could help you. However if the valves are too tight or the piston rings are worn out it isn't going to help.
There is some risk when using an engine cleaner. If you have a lot of carbon some larger pieces could break off and cause issues with the catalytic converter. The manufacturer of seafoam does warn not to use on high mileage vehicles.
Hope you get it sorted out.
