Engine treatments

On a similar note I'm rebuilding a customers G which has a geriatric 617 which he wants to keep for the time being. I've done pump timing and tappets and fluids but the engine is coated with tar internally, has anyone recommends for a suitable engine flush/additive to clean it down then do an early oil change.

Hi gord

Heres an article on engine treatment

Read into it at will

I have done 30 years on cars so i feel i know good from bad

We never offered an engine flush and fuel treatment in our service routine. We just wanted customers to return with no offers etc across the board

We did get customers telling us they used redex and wynns fuel treatment etc etc etc but the cars read no different from any other.Unless a round town 5 miles a day car ,,,, these were the worst obviously

Heres a turning point

A rep came in and said use our treatment and i will give you a demo

Yes ok and customer wanted the demo and we were all there to watch

An old fiesta xr2

First was an engine flush to remove carbon and engine oil contaminates etc

It did this in 20 minutes and sump and pick up was full of debris

It worked too well so all bad particles fell off and blocked strainer

Good for a rebuild though as engine is so clean

If it was a good engine thats not full of carbon i would gladly use it with no issues

Second

He used piston ring cleaner and carbon remover

Started at about 120 per cylinder, treated it and 175 to 190 psi

Good stuff but not needed for a diesel

It will start ok or its knackered my point of view. The treatment might make it start for a month but if its worn and low compression it wont start well for long

Best and 3rd one

I have myself used this treatment for this factor only

Fuel additive

Put a canfull in your diesel tank and see

I have a friend who is anal about mpg and he does the same run every day. He got 75 miles more per tankfill for about 5 months and then bought another can and same again

We had diesels fail smoke test for mot and we did not rev them to bits we advised customers to take them for a good hard run and we would re test emissions... If they failed we did add a can and all passed

We never had a fail unless it was a absolute heap that ad no chance anyway

I am no way involved with this product but i have used it myself and i do get better mpg for sure for about 4 months

Try some and let us all know if you see a difference for a little g wagon survey

The product is forte diesel fuel additive and all the other stuff they do i say works but would not need

Good morning all, I had my GD 300 Teracleaned earlier this year, apparently it is a very hot pure fuel they put through and it supposed to decarbonise  the whole engine including the injectors, it defiantly reduced the emission test as they do it before and after, other than that no noticeable difference, it cost around £90 as I recall, it might be worth doing some research in to it. It's endorsed by Edd China from wheeler dealers. 

Anyone tried a Broquet catalyst in a 460?
