Scotty Kilmer common sense the most important point.

Every time I watch him it reminds me of the story of the 3 guys captured during the war who knew a national security secret. They were tortured. After 1 hour the Frenchman gave up all he knew, after 2 hours the Swede gave up everything he had. Two days later Scotty still hadn't broken. They asked him why he didn't tell. He said he wanted to tell but they had his hands tied behind his back so he couldn't talk...

Genius idea, I'd buy one!

The coolant sprayed into WW2 engines was a water-methanol mix, and it worked in 3 ways: 1. Cooled intake air, colder air-fuel mixture in the chamber, less knock. Less knock meant you could run more boost for more power. 2. This colder charge, aside from aside from allowing more boost, allowed more dense air within the boost. 3. The methanol within the water acted as an octane booster, and water acted to inhibit combustion to reduce detonation. Thus, more boost. (or worse fuel)

Cleaning the throttle intake valves on my 02 VW Jetta helped a lot. I had my local shop do the service and they re-home the air intake valve. Before I had what seemed like transmission shifting issues like cold start it would jump into 2nd gear and after long trips it had rough shifting. After the intake valve cleaning this got fixed. The cost is way cheaper than a transmission. This didn't improve the MPG but overall performance improved with normal shifting.

I’ve been wondering if I really needed this for my 160,000 highway miles car. Car runs great so I’m not gonna touch a thing

South koreans love carbon cleaning. Not because we are stupid but because 80% of the cars on the road is hyundai or kia and almost all of those hyundais and kias have gdi engines. It is such a common maintenece that carbon cleaning is bulit into the regular maintanence routine of a lot of mechanic shops.

I know I can always stop by to listen to Scotty for some real reasonable advice that'll help save me some money. 😄

People make comments about Scotty using his hands to talk-like many good mechanics they're visual learners so as he's talking he's picturing the process. I do it.

My understanding of the water/methanol injection used in WW2 fighters was that it came from a separate tank and was injected in the intake manifold to cool the intake charge as well as the piston crowns and combustion chambers which prevented detonation when the pilot selected overboost aka war emergency power. It's basically the same system GM used on the 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire turbo.

Thanks for the video as always! 1). As someone mentioned, I would send a camera down the intake manifold if you can to see the TOP of the valves...that's where the most carbon build up seems to happen in GDIs (or you'll see more clearly how seriously it is). 2). Question: I've used the CRC GDI intake cleaner but like Scotty, some say chunks could come off, hurt the cylinder, turbo, or CAT. Any opinions or experience?

Walnut blasting works just fine and easy to do. Make sure valves are closed and a vaccum running at the same time you are cleaning the valves and it comes out looking new.

yeah Scotty dead wrong on this video you SHOULD! carbon clean your vehicle especially if its GDI , It makes a huge difference on most cars. I'd do it every 30 k on GDI. Every tune up we do gets one! Customers notice a difference every time we do one. Plus you can't use water on cars with O2 sensors cause it will probably ruin them. The BG line of products and ATS line of products are the two best for sure.

A clean engine on the outside helps engine run cooler longer. Prevention of rust and wear.

Scotty the real deal Cuban mechanic ! 👏👏👏

Italian tune-up. I've been tuning-up my cars and motorcycles for years and didn't know it. 😁

To check for carbon buildup on a GDI, you should pull the throttle body and check the intake valves and ports. The heat of combustion will help keep the pistons clean. Due to the airflow through the ports, there will be much more carbon there. I've seen some truly horrendous carbon deposits on valve stems and ports. The plugs and piston crowns looked fine. GDI engines suck, unless you have secondary injectors in the ports. Good for him mentioning that.

He would take it home the long way round and thrash the thing up to the limiter, holding it high in the revs for a whole 5 miles straight an she be trailing smoke for 3.5 of um, cough and away it went. No work, free ride home, 40 quid pocket money.

Daniel Kelly Does not help on GDI engines...

I love your knowledge! Thank you very much!

Practical advice from the Joe Cocker of automotive repair!!

Thanks for your information . I was thinking of taking my 2016 Mahindra KUV100 CRDI , Diesel powered car for carbon cleaning . I Drop that plan now !!! But recent days in my country (India) many small mechanics have starting making a business of doing carbon cleaning by promising lot of things. anyways.. u r doing good job for the Global people thru your Videos. kudos.

Scotty, Do a video showing carbon buildup in a GDI engine and show us the carbon deposits with your borescope. Thanks!

SCOTTY THANK FOR NOT BEATING AROUND THE BUSH!!! AND GETTING TO THE POINT" AHHHHHH YOU ARE CORRECT ABOUT CARBON CLEANERS NOTHING BUT CRICKETS AND SNAKE OIL"

My '69 Ford 302 V-8 van had a periodic problem with carbon buildup on the valves. I removed the intake manifold and manually cleaned carbon a couple times in the '70s. It ran better afterwards, but it still could not get more than 14 mpg.

Thank you Scotty, another great class about how to take care of your car ! Thank you 🙏

This is helpful in case I ever get a piston engine again, but rotary engines are a _whole different beast_ when it comes to carbon buildup; a redline a day keeps the carbon away!

So you're going to sit there, presumably with a straight face, and tell the world you only redline your rotary engine once a day?

@@VisionQuest057 That sounds tasty. I'll definitely have a look at it. Always had a thing for the Gen 3 RX7s.

My dad was a GM mechanic from 1948 to 1984, LOL Orwell years. Over half the time he did tuneups. Every time before I went on a trip, he would spray a can of carb cleaner and get the hot kettle out. '68 Camaro 327 4 barrel and '84 Cutlass. I forget which was done first. I just backed away from the cloud of smoke. LOL I don't know if he did it on the job. It was back end RUST that killed all our GM cars. I sort of helped him rebuild a truck, tractor and car motor.

I bought a 1986 Nissan Maxima from a couple so old, they bought their sandals with Jesus. The car coughed like it had asthma when I took it above 65MPH. Got a carbon cleaning and 2 years later, she still purrs like a kitten. The age of car and previous speed driven made the decision easy. Well done, Scotty.

3:24 "Stupid beauty cover" caught me off guard 😂. Scotty probably roasts his grandkids all the time.

I wish you were my neighbor Scotty! You're a treasure of knowledge. I respect you A LOT

I just pointed out where Scotty says it is acceptable to carbon clean your car. And in another video, Scotty says he does not advise carbon cleaning your car. So while I respect & like Scotty. Scotty is only human and Scotty goofs up sometimes!

Hi Scotty, love your videos. Very informative and like your style. Can you please put out videos on cleaning an engine?

Scotty- I have a 1966 304 International Harvester engine with last known odometer reading 186K. The thing ran pretty well prior to me removing the top end as part of a reseal effort (new seals, head gaskets, so on and so forth). Needless to say, there is a lot of carbon inside the engine. Overall (I only have one head off so far.) The combustion chamber, outside of a lot of carbon, looks pretty good. I have ordered a yellow Roloc bristle to clean the carbon. I am loosening the carbon with WD40. Anything else you think I should do? As a side note. Inside the cylinder, I plan to use a hand Scotchbrite - no mechanical. These old International Harvester 304 engines are bulletproof. So far there is no cylinder scoring. My intent is to clean it up, seal it up, and reassemble it. Thoughts?

lol we par "carbon tax" in Canada.. If I pay for my carbon, I want to keep it :)

So, if you save the carbon and take it to the government, you should be able to get some of your tax money back.

GDI ... introducing diesel engine problems to the gasoline engine. Well done eco-nuts. Well done.

Well done engineers, you improved emissions and power! If you have a GDI VW engine you can solve the carbon problem with 20$ catch can. Newer GDI cars have double the injectors, direct one's and regular ones in intake manifold. So in the end GDI is the way to go

Walnut blasting works great... PCV improvements help.
