gasgasman Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 We had some guys come through trying to peddle a diesel EGR cleaning machine. The process took 1 hour and totally filled up the whole shop with smoke. It was billowing out the exhaust like crazy. Couple years ago the engine oil flush guys came through. They did two used cars, both Crown Vics, Needless to say, BOTH cars came back on the hook with blown up motors. They locked up on the road test after the flush job.

GregKneupper Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have tried different things to try and make a sludged 6.0 injector work. I have not been able to find anything that works for good. I asked an international engineer about this one time and he says that they also have tried many things and were unable to achieve the results they wanted. He also said that when the injectors sludge the spool valve also becomes scored. So cleaning the sludge out may not fix it because it is mechanically damaged from the scoring. I believe the best way to repair them is to just replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that I have never heard of any effective "flush or cleaning methid for injector problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoWilimek Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 There will always be a snake oil out there that claims to perform miracles for "whatever". The salesmen can make all kinds of outrageous claims and purport to have proof it works. However, I always remember the snake oil salesman from South Africa(of all places) that was hawking Forte products, including oil treatment, engine flush, fuel treatment etc. He came to our dealership more than 15 years ago, claiming the Forte line was the best thing since sliced bread. He gave us a demonstration of it with a machine that turned a weighted metal wheel against a steel surface. He dropped a few drops of the Forte stuff on the wheel and there was no wear on the metal surface. Then he repeated the demonstration with Ford oil. The wheel scored into the metal surface. We were all convinced that we should sell the stuff. He even gave us free coolant pH test strips and had us collecting bottle caps from his product to see who could sell the most and win a prize. We used the stuff with various success for a few months, until he came back one time working for a new company claiming to have the best products since sliced bread. The Forte stuff collected dust on a shelf until we were able to use it up and so too with the new stuff, that was similar, yet never really developped a following and that saleman stopped coming after a few months, never to be heard from again.

Jim Warman Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Bruno.... at one point in time the bearing on the electric motor machine bullshit test was THE premier fuck you up test for any and all oil additives.. Back when you were but a gleam in your Daddies eye or a (..... no.... chatting about your Mums knickers would be crude...)... I took the Wynns indoctrination course... the one where you are seriously considering selling the stuff for a living... The bearing test... you could make camel piss look like a great lubricant... and it all hinges on how you initiate contact with the bearings. Come up gentle on the contact and let the hydro-dynamic wedge form... you can do a lot of things as long as none of them are sudden enough to break the wedge... If you want to make brand X look bad... don't allow the wedge to form... a little "snort" and you can break the wedge. A little practice with the machine and you can make Copperfield look like a parlour trick. PT Barnum said "There's one born every minute...".... he was talking about suckers... not the lollipop variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgasman Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 ....and who paid for the blown up engines? The people that did the flushs paid for the engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
