De-carbonising engine

[andlfloh]

Any sifus have experience in decarbonising car engines? Does using bottles of cleansing chemicals work as claimed - whatever the brand?

Any reliable mechanic to do this service in Klang Valley?

If full of carbon, best is to do top overhaul and get it cleaned out.....

but im abit sceptical bout this dcarbo.....like vr2turbo mentioned, the best way is to get it top overhauled.
once i tried x1r on my toyota LE, at last the engine was jammed. after that day i banned all engine additives.

Do u judge amount of carbon by the mileage done? 100k km and above needs top overhaul, even with regular oil change plus filters.

Do you have any problems? If not, I will leave it. To check you can also go for compression test before you open the engine up. If all piston compression are good, no need to do anything...

X-1R lube additive or fuel additive. Got people swear they work...

Acts like metal conditioner. Should not jam the engine....use before also but did not find any benefit...

IMHO... better use tufoil than x1r...

back to topic... use it once, it felt lighter in response (the old engine, before swapping hafkat engine la)

one of my fren did 'decarbonizing' his engine (wira 1.3), but not dcarbo la since that brand does not exist at the time... then got to an argument with his 'uncle-type' mechanic... then the pomen decide to disassemble my friend engine head FOC... he said, for an engine with 100k++ mileage, the head looked rather clean... but not enough

...then the uncle proceed in giving proper top overhaul just to be sure

100k km is relatively still new. Nowadays with proper OCI, engine can last a long time. I would not open up the engine, unless got problem....

How much does Compression test cost? Does it need a specialist mechanic to do it?

No need specialist. If your mechanic have the unit, he just need to fit it in where the spark plug is. Then crank without starting, It will show the compression figure on the gauge/meter. Test one by one on all cylinders.

still remembers my 850cc dohc clattering louder than a hilux because the douche pomen can't remember which valve is which...
