Finally Bit

Here is a couple of pics, in person it doesn't look that bad. There is build up but not as severe as we have seen. 35k miles.

I am going to get the BG fuel service done and do an after shot.

That would be promising, are you methanol injected and if so for how many miles? Really does not look that bad as compared to BG's test car.

Where are you introducing the scope?

 

[ShoBoat]

I introduced thorough the throttle body. No meth here, I was running the catch cans on the car for the last 3k miles or so. But I doubt they were not collecting anything. I would love to have a look at Crash's intake valves, he has been running meth forever.

I'm still on vacation and won't be home till Tuesday, but this morning I ordered a scope tool from Amazon for $69. It will be delivered on Wednesday. I just love Amazon Prime. I'm thinking I might be able to sneak the probe in through the MAP sensor opening. If do that would be pretty easy. With 52K on the clock, I'm pretty anxious to see what the valve backsides look like. Fingers crossed!

Pics are embarrassingly bad, but I hope good enough to somewhat judge the build up.

Entry through the MAP sensor opening.

Looking at the tool directly gave me a slightly better view. Feel free to chime in with an opinion if the pic quality allows. In my ignorance I didn't think it looked too bad. No treatments as yet and no catch cans.

My apologies for my newbness-

A dose of Seafoam doesn't cut it anymore?

 

[panther427]

Not exactly. Adding some via vacuum to upper cylinder is the only way it will see the valves... same with any in tank fuel additive.

Can't go in at the intake manifold and spray it?

I just installed my 3 bar today and I decided to take the intake tube off and have a look. My car is at 19k miles and it looks spotless inside. My intake tube is dry to the touch and as far as I can see the intake manifold is like new. I ordered a snake cam and I'll post pics next week.

I think the carbon build up is hit and miss.
