Whats the best way to clean carbon buildup?

My car is starting to develop what I think is lifter tick and I figured it was because of carbon buildup on the valves? Is there any way to clean this?

Maybe spray a little bit of carb cleaner in there? I'm not sure if its really safe to spray it right into the cylinders to do this but that would be the best thing to remove it...

Well....how would I spray it in there?

Pull out the spark plugs, spray it in there, put em back in and fire it up... But I donno if it'll screw anything else up... Maybe you shouldn't try it...

seafoam ftw

just prepare for a smokeshow

Where can I get this seafoam?

But I donno if it'll screw anything else up... Maybe you shouldn't try it...

Sounds promising.....:uhoh: . :lol: It might work, I think I'll try this seafoam mess though. Try the carb cleaner on your car. lol

search dsmtuners.com for seafoam

there is a massive thread about it, any parts store SHOULD have it

Try the carb cleaner on your car. lol
Gee, thanks. lol



I'll just clean my valves while their outta the motor. lol :wink:

what about that mopar combustion chamber cleaning crap? there is a section on vfaq about it

Lifter tick has nothing to do with carbon on the valves, but shitty lifters. :) I doubt the seafoam or MCCC will have any effect on the lifter tick, but it's a good idea to keep the motor clean anyway. I always take the time to clean the pistons and CC thoroughly whenever I have the head off.

Oh. I dont know if my lifters are ticking anyway. Seems like the noise keeps getting louder. My injectors need a good cleaning also and I know the CC does too. I thought lifter tick could develp from carbon buildup, but what do I know? I figured all that noise was coming from a combination of lifter and injector tick. Things sounds like a freakin diesal or something. I know when I go to the gas station people have got to be thinkin..."WTF!"
