alcohol engine cleaning benefits...

forcefed86 · 01-08-2008

I was impressed with this. Just thought I'd share.

160k buick 3.8.... 30lbs of boost pump gas and meth injection... I blew a damn oil cooler line and wiped a cam or it would still be chugging along today. Rebuilt this one last winter. Note the spotless CC chambers/pistons/valves.

And I bought the engine from a 55 year old man. All original 120k never opened motor. I'm sure it looked horrible on the inside before The alcohol and high cyl. pressures got to it.

Pretty impressive, one of the cleanest high mileage cast engines I've opened up.

Nothing like steam cleaning your engine every time you beat on it! ;)

Definelty one of the best benifits of alcohol injection, Gives more life to your engine by taking carbon deposit build-up out of the picture. Few mods come close to it when it comes to secondary benifits. Once it's clean it stays clean.

Lets see any over the counter fuel additive make your motor look like that on the inside.

does the stuff that gets cleaned off affect a spinning turbo charger ? or is it
just small particles in the exhaust ?

The particles are microns small and to soft to effect any metal, Carbon is always breaking off in cars with our without alcohol injection.

It might clean off the top rings, but the lower oil rings would need something in the oil, or maybe a piston soak for that.
