Intake Valve Deposit Cleaning Process

[FordSpeed]

The Ford Tech Makuloco on YouTube put up a video on cleaning Ecoboost Intake valve deposits. He's usually referring to the 2.0 EB, but I imagine the same could be experienced on the 2.3 over time. He does a great job explaining various Ford repairs in his videos and recommend a subscribe to his channel.

We will need to see how bad the issue is over time on the 2.3L EB engines now that they have the factory oil/air separator as well as those with additional aftermarket catch cans. It may not be as big of an issue as it was on early DI engines.

Unless you use a garden sprayer or something similar and use it to inject the cleaner into the intake when the engine is running to come in contact with the valves, it won't do anything for GDI engines.
