I don't do it often but I do spray my 2 2005 Corolla engine compartments occasionally. It is a pressure sprayer but I hold it high in the air. I do not use the soap selection and I only use the rinse... I might spray a little degreaser down where you see the oil filter but I change my own oil and I usually leave that area clean anyway. I live in Nevada so it is mostly dust under the hood. I am of the belief that a dusty dirty engine and mean dust and dirty will be headed right into the breather intake making your air filter dirtier sooner.. I have never had my cars not start after a rinse of the engine compartment...

The engine compartments of my motor vehicles .. you could eat your lunch off them. Less dirt to get in somewhere. Cleaned by hand. Regular servicing .. oils, filters, etc, kept the innards clean. I never had problems with 'carbonising'. A regular 'Italian Job' apparently took care of that. Also, on the older models .. so easy to work on, the occasional 'decoke' was a weekend job.

I wish this video had come out a week ago. Listen to Scotty here and don't flush your engine if you have more modern car, especially if you have high miles. Last Wednesday I put motor flush in my 2009 Genesis with 190k miles on it and now it's running terrible, misfiring and backfiring as I give it gas. It also makes a sort of "wub wub wub" sound (almost like an exhaust leak) similar to an 83 Olds Cutlass I had as a teen in the 90s which was running on 7 cylinders. Shortly after I bought my Genesis in January, I found it was burning about a quart of oil every five hundred miles and I had put some ring seal in it, which helped a little. Now, just after flushing the engine and driving it for around fifty miles, the oil has already gone down a quart with zero external leaks to be seen. It seems my number three cylinder has a leak somewhere, evidenced by the fact I can see oil on the spark plug when removing it (plus the P0303 code it's throwing).

A flat head engine would max out at 3600 rpm, overhead valve engine he would run up to 4500 rpm.

Aircraft used water to cool the air charge to get more power. It also lessened detonation. Looking through the spark plug hole doesn't show the carbon built up on the intake side of the valves. Maybe if you can look at 90 degrees and turn the engine. EGR is the main problem for carbon.

I like to start the engine just before rinsing. Reasons; 1) If the water causes any kind of hesitation or stalling, I know to keep water away from that area. 2) The engine will heat up while rinsing. I am done rinsing before it gets to operating temperature. That is my goal to keep running it after rinsing is done. So it will dry from heat and I know once dry and still running that water didn’t cause any problems. The inside is more important but the outside will need some cleaning as well…

Sadly, I may have destroyed my engine on Wednesday by flushing the motor. It had a small internal leak already, and I think the flush must have destroyed or dislodged a valve stem seal on cylinder three. It went from burning a quart of oil every 500 to 700 miles to going down one quart in less than fifty after flushing it.

why do you disconnect the NEGATIVE battery terminal - what if you touch that terminal to any bare metal part - wouldn't this complete the circuit and it would be like it was actually connected and connect the circuit?? Why wouldn't you disconnect the POSITIVE terminal ??
@JohnSmith-pl2bk
@JohnSmith-pl2bk 3 месяца назад
The negative or ground terminal is at 0 voltage. The positive terminal is at 12VDC. Touching the negative terminal against anything is harmless. But leaving the negative terminal attached means that the circuit is complete anytime any part of any circuit "bridges" between the "hot" 12VDC and any metal part of the car i.e. "goes to ground". If the negative terminal is not connected...there is no ground! No spitz und sparken und poof!

@ShepherdsSheepdog 3 месяца назад
That's a myth. ACKSHUALLY, the carbon deposits will only slightly alter the "time distance" traveled. UNLESS, the build up is really bad, which might then cause the "pendulum effect". That's a real problem as you uncontrollably swing further back and further forward in time - over and over again. One theory is that just such an occurrence led to such a concentration of temporal energy that it actually CAUSED the Big Bang.

In '73, I had a'68 Chevy Caprice with a 327 Holley 4 bbl. Ended up traded the Holley for a two barrel. After lifting the intake n carb, the mechanic literally had to stop and get his brother to witness all the sludge between the push rods. Mixing that damn HD and non HD. Good times

I've continued to use various(quality) engine/fuel cleaners in my 2013 manual VW GTI since I've purchased it new. At minimum, I use one quality engine/fuel cleaner in every 4th tank of quality gas. Sometimes (often) more than that. It has 119k miles and still runs like new. Best car I have ever owned. Every mile is a fun mile. I still love it!

Has anybody ever tried a catch can system on their cars do you think it works of course you wouldn't need one on a Toyota
@stevenroberts9172
@stevenroberts9172 2 месяца назад
I run a catch can. They work great provided they have a good filtering element in them. The stuff I empty out of it look like straight espresso. GDI engines benefit most from catch cans as no fuel ever sees the valves due to the injectors spraying directly into the cylinders. This means fuel cleaners do nothing to clean carbon on GDI engines. CRC make a GDI intake cleaner which will clean carbon off the valves but prevention is best so use a catch can 🙂

I do every 8,000 miles because I drive strictly highway. I get on a interstate ramp and 35 minutes later get off the ramp lol. Work is about a mile from there. Car doesn't burn any oil and have well over 120k miles, bought new. So we'll see I guess.

I've cracked my intake by not waiting for the engine to cool down. Now, the car did run fine, but after a few weeks I got the engine light. Found out my intake had a crack, as soon as I heard that, I knew it was my fault. Cost to fix, $1700... So yes, wait for the engine to cool before doing any cleaning.

People can also say "riding a skateboard without a helmet is not that dangerous. You just have to know what you're doing and not do stupid things." Ok, there is truth to that, but it's also just a bad idea. Seems like the same principle applies here- just because some people get away with it, doesn't make something a good idea. That, and I have owned cars of all types for 30 years now. Why do you need to spray your engine? Unless you leak fluids and abuse your vehicle, it should not be that dirty under the hood.
