Cleaning engine I remember reading a few years ago about using type of Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner to clean out the gunk from the engine. I know about Seafoam but wanted to use the MCCC. But since I cannot get my hands on any, is there another alternative other than Seafoam?
Not knocking the Seafoam, I don't want any debate on it. I'm just trying to see what everyone does. I'm about to change out my O2 sensors and maybe my spark plugs so I figure it is a good time to clean the engine before I change out the sensors and plugs.
I also don't care about pissing off my neighbors as I hate my street. Well...I have one cool neighbor, but they won't mind me doing this stuff (hence why they are cool).

I won't knock SeaFoam either, it has great uses. But top end cleaning...SeaFoam does absolutely nothing, except cleans the rear two cylinders and pistons...JUST A LITTLE BIT.
Get the Amsoil top end cleaner....or go to a Yamaha outboard motor place and buy the Yamaha combustion chamber cleaner. Both come out in foam form.
Spray it into the vacuum port on the intake.
Both are awesome.

Didn't know Amsoil made a top end engine cleaner. I might have to inquire about that with my local Amsoil dealer. I think I remember someone mentioning Yamaha having some type of combustion chamber cleaner.
The guy in this video is a moron for revving his engine right after the product sat and soaked in for awhile. You need to let it ONLY idle for 10 minutes and then go for a very mellow drive for another 15 min.
Watch this: This is what MCCC, Yamaha or Amsoil will do.

I've been trying to tell hundreds of brain dead people for years and years......the ONLY thing can possibly clean a top end is a......FOAM.......liquids will not work. Only way a liquid can work is if you filled the top end with it and let it sit....then turned the engine upside down to pour it all out.....lol
Anyway.....whatever brand you choose....make sure it's a FOAM......

It's doesn't smell bad at all really. I don't remember it smelling like anything bad when I did it a couple times.
